      Pull LZO compression update from Markus Oberhumer:
       "Summary:
        ========
      
        Update the Linux kernel LZO compression and decompression code to the
        current upstream version which features significant performance
        improvements on modern machines.
      
        Some *synthetic* benchmarks:

      Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> acks it and says:
       "There's a new LZ4 on the block which is even faster than the sped-up
        LZO, but various filesystems and things use LZO"

      Pull EDAC fixes and ghes-edac from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
       "For:
      
         - Some fixes at edac drivers (i7core_edac, sb_edac, i3200_edac);
         - error injection support for i5100, when EDAC debug is enabled;
         - fix edac when it is loaded builtin (early init for the subsystem);
         - a "Firmware First" EDAC driver, allowing ghes to report errors via
           EDAC (ghes-edac).
      
        With regards to ghes-edac, this fixes a longstanding BZ at Red Hat
        that happens with Nehalem and Sandy Bridge CPUs: when both GHES and
        i7core_edac or sb_edac are running, the error reports are
        unpredictable, as both BIOS and OS race to access the registers.  With
        ghes-edac, the EDAC core will refuse to register any other concurrent
        memory error driver.
      
        This patchset moves the ghes struct definitions to a separate header
        file (include/acpi/ghes.h) and adds 3 hooks at apei/ghes.c to
        register/unregister and to report errors via ghes-edac.  Those changes
        were acked by ghes driver maintainer (Huang)."
