[GIT PULL] s390 last minute patch for 3.18

From: Martin Schwidefsky
Date: Mon Dec 01 2014 - 06:49:27 EST


Hi Linus,

please pull from the 'for-linus' branch of

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git for-linus

to receive the following updates:

A single but important fix for the machine check handling. The big
per-cpu cleanup from Christoph causes the code to do nothing after
receiving a machine check condition.
