Acked-by: Ingo Molnar could you please put the ax/progbits fix in front of the queue so that it becomes bisectable and so that the later patches keep their "it should not change anything" property? I.e. do not mix small fixlets into a large set of "no change" patches - split them out in front. This is really important for the x86 bits as linker script changes tend to be quite fragile.
