linux-next: manual merge of the kspp tree with the net-next tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Kees,

Today's linux-next merge of the kspp tree got a conflict in:

  arch/Kconfig

between commit:

  1a8b6d76dc5b ("net:add one common config ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER to support relax ordering")

from the net-next tree and commits:

  ad21fc4faa2a ("arch: Move CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_SET_MODULE_RONX to be common")
  0f5bf6d0afe4 ("arch: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_MODULE_RONX")

from the kspp tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
