Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:

 - Add the CPU id for the new z13s machine

 - Add a s390 specific XOR template for RAID-5 checksumming based on the
   XC instruction.  Remove all other alternatives, XC is always faster

 - The merge of our four different stack tracers into a single one

 - Tidy up the code related to page tables, several large inline
   functions are now out-of-line.  Bloat-o-meter reports ~11K text size
   reduction

 - A binary interface for the priviledged CLP instruction to retrieve
   the hardware view of the installed PCI functions

 - Improvements for the dasd format code

 - Bug fixes and cleanups
