This is my accumulated x86 entry work, part 1, for 3.20. The meat

of this is an IST rework.  When an IST exception interrupts user
 space, we will handle it on the per-thread kernel stack instead of
 on the IST stack.  This sounds messy, but it actually simplifies the
 IST entry/exit code, because it eliminates some ugly games we used
 to play in order to handle rescheduling, signal delivery, etc on the
 way out of an IST exception.
 
 The IST rework introduces proper context tracking to IST exception
 handlers.  I haven't seen any bug reports, but the old code could
 have incorrectly treated an IST exception handler as an RCU extended
 quiescent state.
 
 The memory failure change (included in this pull request with
 Borislav and Tony's permission) eliminates a bunch of code that
 is no longer needed now that user memory failure handlers are
 called in process context.
 
 Finally, this includes a few on Denys' uncontroversial and Obviously
 Correct (tm) cleanups.
 
 The IST and memory failure changes have been in -next for a while.

This tree semantically depends on and is based on the following RCU commit:

  734d168013 ("rcu: Make rcu_nmi_enter() handle nesting")

... and for that reason won't be pushed upstream before the RCU bits hit Linus's tree.
