Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-fixes-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git x86-fixes-for-linus

This includes your patch for disabling static NOPL entirely on 32
bits; as discussed yesterday the -Wa,-mtune=generic32 patches are
deferred to post-27.

Thanks,

-hpa
