I've merged the pile in two steps. Patch 1-5, i.e. the generic code is
here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core/entry

and merged this branch and patch 6-15 into

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86/entry

core/entry is immutable and any updates, changes go on top. It's meant
as a base for other architecture developers who want to fiddle with that
without having to get the x86 mess as well.

Hi Thomas,

Just FYI: I'm going to take a look at arm64 support for this. I know Mark previously posted[1] a series moving much of the code to C, so hopefully I can build on that and make use of the generic code.

Thanks,

Steve
