Merge tag 'v4.4-rc2' into drm-intel-next-queued
Linux 4.4-rc2 Backmerge to get at commit 1b0e3a049efe471c399674fd954500ce97438d30 Author: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Date: Thu Nov 5 23:04:11 2015 +0200 drm/i915/skl: disable display side power well support for now so that we can proplery re-eanble skl power wells in -next. Conflicts are just adjacent lines changed, except for intel_fbdev.c where we need to interleave the changs. Nothing nefarious. Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>

+/*
+ * Original kernel header comment:
+ *
+ * Kernel pointers have redundant information, so we can use a
+ * scheme where we can return either an error code or a normal
+ * pointer with the same return value.
+ *
+ * This should be a per-architecture thing, to allow different
+ * error and pointer decisions.
+ *
+ * Userspace note:
+ * The same principle works for userspace, because 'error' pointers
+ * fall down to the unused hole far from user space, as described
+ * in Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt for x86_64 arch:
+ *
+ * 0000000000000000 - 00007fffffffffff (=47 bits) user space, different per mm hole caused by [48:63] sign extension
+ * ffffffffffe00000 - ffffffffffffffff (=2 MB) unused hole
+ *
+ * It should be the same case for other architectures, because
+ * this code is used in generic kernel code.
