Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
  merge things.

  I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches.  I've been
  wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
  prospects for success of the project.  But after speaking with Pavel
  at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
  completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
  complaining" stage regarding the net changes.  So I need to go back
  and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."
