Merge branch 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 apic updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - introduce optimized single IPI sending methods on modern APICs (Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner) - kexec/crash APIC handling fixes and enhancements (Hidehiro Kawai) - extend lapic vector saving/restoring to the CMCI (MCE) vector as well (Juergen Gross) - various fixes and enhancements (Jake Oshins, Len Brown)" * 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) x86/irq: Export functions to allow MSI domains in modules Documentation: Document kernel.panic_on_io_nmi sysctl x86/nmi: Save regs in crash dump on external NMI x86/apic: Introduce apic_extnmi command line parameter kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec() panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI x86/apic: Fix the saving and restoring of lapic vectors during suspend/resume x86/smpboot: Re-enable init_udelay=0 by default on modern CPUs x86/smp: Remove single IPI wrapper x86/apic: Use default send single IPI wrapper x86/apic: Provide default send single IPI wrapper x86/apic: Implement single IPI for apic_noop x86/apic: Wire up single IPI for apic_numachip x86/apic: Wire up single IPI for x2apic_uv x86/apic: Implement single IPI for x2apic_phys x86/apic: Wire up single IPI for bigsmp_apic x86/apic: Remove pointless indirections from bigsmp_apic x86/apic: Wire up single IPI for apic_physflat x86/apic: Remove pointless indirections from apic_physflat ...
