    Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
     "The biggest changes in this cycle were:
    
       - Revamp, simplify (and in some cases fix) Time Stamp Counter (TSC)
         primitives.  (Andy Lutomirski)
    
       - Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C.
         (Andy Lutomirski)
    
       - vm86 mode cleanups and fixes.  (Brian Gerst)
    
       - 32-bit compat code cleanups.  (Brian Gerst)
    
      The amount of simplification in low level assembly code is already
      palpable:
    
         arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S                          | 130 +----
         arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S                          | 197 ++-----
    
      but more simplifications are planned.
    
      There's also the usual laudry mix of low level changes - see the
      changelog for details"
