Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the security tree with the asm-generic tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the security tree got a conflict in:

arch/ia64/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl

between commit:

cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture")

from the asm-generic tree and commit:

6d54f25e4605 ("LSM: wireup Linux Security Module syscalls")

from the security tree.

I fixed it up (I just deleted the file) and can carry the fix as
necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any
non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer
when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider
cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any
particularly complex conflicts.

Thanks Stephen, I'll update the LSM tree if/when the ia64 code is
removed from Linus' tree.
