Subject[GIT PULL] x86/asm changes for 3.20
Hi Ingo and Thomas,

Please consider pulling for x86/asm. The sysret stuff hasn't been in
-next, but it's been floating around for a while, and got a reasonably
favorable reception.

If you think it's too late for the sysret stuff for 3.20, then please
pull just "x86, traps: Fix ist_enter from userspace" instead. It
fixes a regression.

Thanks,
Andy
