Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

Merge misc patches from Andrew Morton:

 - the "misc" tree - stuff from all over the map

 - checkpatch updates

 - fatfs

 - kmod changes

 - procfs

 - cpumask

 - UML

 - kexec

 - mqueue

 - rapidio

 - pidns

 - some checkpoint-restore feature work.  Reluctantly.  Most of it
   delayed a release.  I'm still rather worried that we don't have a
   clear roadmap to completion for this work.
