    Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
     "Here is the core arm64 queue for 4.5.  As you might expect, the
      Christmas break resulted in a number of patches not making the final
      cut, so 4.6 is likely to be larger than usual.  There's still some
      useful stuff here, however, and it's detailed below.
    
      The EFI changes have been Reviewed-by Matt and the memblock change got
      an "OK" from akpm.
    
      Summary:
    
       - Support for a separate IRQ stack, although we haven't reduced the
         size of our thread stack just yet since we don't have enough data
         to determine a safe value
    
       - Refactoring of our EFI initialisation and runtime code into
         drivers/firmware/efi/ so that it can be reused by arch/arm/.
    
       - Ftrace improvements when unwinding in the function graph tracer
    
       - Document our silicon errata handling process
    
       - Cache flushing optimisation when mapping executable pages
    
       - Support for hugetlb mappings using the contiguous hint in the pte"
