Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts were simply overlapping changes. In the net/ipv4/route.c case the code had simply moved around a little bit and the same fix was made in both 'net' and 'net-next'. In the net/sched/sch_generic.c case a fix in 'net' happened at the same time that a new argument was added to qdisc_hash_add(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Bits for undefined preemption levels are RAZ/WI.
+ For historical reasons and to provide ABI compatibility with userspace we
+ export the GICC_PMR register in the format of the GICH_VMCR.VMPriMask
+ field in the lower 5 bits of a word, meaning that userspace must always
+ use the lower 5 bits to communicate with the KVM device and must shift the
+ value left by 3 places to obtain the actual priority mask level.
+
Limitations:
- Priorities are not implemented, and registers are RAZ/WI
- Currently only implemented for KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_VGIC_V2.
