While going through the rest I also picked up these patches as easy 
preparatory commits in tip:x86/cpu, there was no reason to have them 
later in the series:

  29517791c478 x86/cacheinfo: Remove the P4 trace leftovers for real
  d61b5118f719 x86/cacheinfo: Remove unnecessary headers and reorder the rest
  0d22030c49bf <linux/sizes.h>: Cover all possible x86 CPU cache sizes

Thanks,
