Merge tag 'v4.4-rc2' into drm-intel-next-queued
Linux 4.4-rc2 Backmerge to get at commit 1b0e3a049efe471c399674fd954500ce97438d30 Author: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Date: Thu Nov 5 23:04:11 2015 +0200 drm/i915/skl: disable display side power well support for now so that we can proplery re-eanble skl power wells in -next. Conflicts are just adjacent lines changed, except for intel_fbdev.c where we need to interleave the changs. Nothing nefarious. Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>

87 * probe_kernel_address() suitable for use within regions where the caller
88 * already holds mmap_sem, or other locks which nest inside mmap_sem.
89 * This must be a macro because __get_user() needs to know the types of the
90 * args.
91 *
92 * We don't include enough header files to be able to do the set_fs(). We
93 * require that the probe_kernel_address() caller will do that.
