Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml

Pull UML updates from Richard Weinberger:

 - a new and faster epoll based IRQ controller and NIC driver

 - misc fixes and janitorial updates

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
  Fix vector raw inintialization logic
  Migrate vector timers to new timer API
  um: Compile with modern headers
  um: vector: Fix an error handling path in 'vector_parse()'
  um: vector: Fix a memory allocation check
  um: vector: fix missing unlock on error in vector_net_open()
  um: Add missing EXPORT for free_irq_by_fd()
  High Performance UML Vector Network Driver
  Epoll based IRQ controller
  um: Use POSIX ucontext_t instead of struct ucontext
  um: time: Use timespec64 for persistent clock
  um: Restore symbol versions for __memcpy and memcpy
