      Pull x86 timers updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "This update contains:
      
         - The solution for the TSC deadline timer borkage, which is caused by
           a hardware problem in the TSC_ADJUST/TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER logic.
      
           The problem is documented now and fixed with a microcode update, so
           we can remove the workaround and just check for the microcode version.
      
           If the microcode is not up to date, then the TSC deadline timer is
           disabled. If the borkage is fixed by the proper microcode version,
           then the deadline timer can be used. In both cases the restrictions
           to the range of the TSC_ADJUST value, which were added as
           workarounds, are removed.
      
        - A few simple fixes and updates to the timer related x86 code"

      Pull x86 PCI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "This update provides the seperation of x86 PCI accessors from the
        global PCI lock in the generic PCI config space accessors.
      
        The reasons for this are:
      
         - x86 has it's own PCI config lock for various reasons, so the
           accessors have to lock two locks nested.
      
         - The ECAM (mmconfig) access to the extended configuration space does
           not require locking. The existing generic locking causes a massive
           lock contention when accessing the extended config space of the
           Uncore facility for performance monitoring.
      
        The commit which switched the access to the primary config space over
        to ECAM mode has been removed from the branch, so the primary config
        space is still accessed with type1 accessors properly serialized by
        the x86 internal locking.
      
        Bjorn agreed on merging this through the x86 tree"

      Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "The irq department delivers:
      
         - Expand the generic infrastructure handling the irq migration on CPU
           hotplug and convert X86 over to it. (Thomas Gleixner)
      
           Aside of consolidating code this is a preparatory change for:
      
         - Finalizing the affinity management for multi-queue devices. The
           main change here is to shut down interrupts which are affine to a
           outgoing CPU and reenabling them when the CPU comes online again.
           That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and
           reestablishing affinities for no value. (Christoph Hellwig)
      
           Note: This contains also the BLOCK-MQ and NVME changes which depend
           on the rework of the irq core infrastructure. Jens acked them and
           agreed that they should go with the irq changes.
      
         - Consolidation of irq domain code (Marc Zyngier)
      
         - State tracking consolidation in the core code (Jeffy Chen)
      
         - Add debug infrastructure for hierarchical irq domains (Thomas
           Gleixner)
      
         - Infrastructure enhancement for managing generic interrupt chips via
           devmem (Bartosz Golaszewski)
      
         - Constification work all over the place (Tobias Klauser)
      
         - Two new interrupt controller drivers for MVEBU (Thomas Petazzoni)
      
         - The usual set of fixes, updates and enhancements all over the
           place"

           sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
           of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)

       "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
        round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
        core cleanups.
      
        Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
        already sent out.
      
        This pull request contains:
      
         - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
           block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
           different schemes for different places.
      
         - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
           scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
      
         - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
           and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
      
         - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
           we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
           hangs or stalls.
      
         - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
           differences across types of devices.
      
         - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
           failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
      
         - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
           that of the underlying device.
      
         - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
           lightnvm, particular around pblk.
      
         - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
           NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
           on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
           amplification.
      
         - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
           stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
      
         - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
           side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
      
         - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
           support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
           don't really need them.
      
         - Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

      Pull uuid subsystem from Christoph Hellwig:
       "This is the new uuid subsystem, in which Amir, Andy and I have started
        consolidating our uuid/guid helpers and improving the types used for
        them. Note that various other subsystems have pulled in this tree, so
        I'd like it to go in early.
      
        UUID/GUID summary:
      
         - introduce the new uuid_t/guid_t types that are going to replace the
           somewhat confusing uuid_be/uuid_le types and make the terminology
           fit the various specs, as well as the userspace libuuid library.
           (me, based on a previous version from Amir)
      
         - consolidated generic uuid/guid helper functions lifted from XFS and
           libnvdimm (Amir and me)
      
         - conversions to the new types and helpers (Amir, Andy and me)"

      Cause is a call to dma_coerce_mask_and_coherenet in parport_pc_probe_port,
      which PARISC DMA API doesn't handle very nicely. This commit gives back
      DMA_ERROR_CODE for DMA API calls, if device isn't capable of DMA
      transaction.
