A new drm-intel-next pull. Highlights:
- More gmbus patches from Daniel Kurtz, I think gmbus is now ready, all
known issues fixed.
- Fencing cleanup and pipelined fencing removal from Chris.
- rc6 residency interface from Ben, useful for powertop.
- Cleanups and code reorg around the ringbuffer code (Ben&me).
- Use hw semaphores in the pageflip code from Ben.
- More vlv stuff from Jesse, unfortunately his vlv cpu is doa, so less
merged than I've hoped for - we still have the unused function warning :(
- More hsw patches from Eugeni, again, not yet enabled fully.
- intel_pm.c refactoring from Eugeni.
- Ironlake sprite support from Chris.
- And various smaller improvements/fixes all over the place.

Note that this pull request also contains a backmerge of -rc3 to sort out
a few things in -next. I've also had to frob the shortlog a bit to exclude
anything that -rc3 brings in with this pull.

Regression wise we have a few strange bugs going on, but for all of them
closer inspection revealed that they've been pre-existing, just now
slightly more likely to be hit. And for most of them we have a patch
already. Otherwise QA has not reported any regressions, and I'm also not
aware of anything bad happening in 3.4.

First batch of AT91 cleanup for 3.5 kernel.
- The biggest improvement of this series is the ability to compile several
AT91 SoCs in one kernel image.
For now on it's limited to the DT-enabled boards but we can compile all
the core together.
- The Kconfig series is stacked before other patches as it is simple and
non-intrusive. Its goal is to remove too restrictive dependencies on
SoC names. This will allow to add support for newer SoC seamlessly.
- Some very "cosmetic" Kconfig changes are also added (entry names,
comments, etc.).

sysfs: handle 'parent deleted before child added'

In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the
child is added have been observed.

1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the
async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely
unplug during initial scan).

2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn
down (this is a bug in libsas).

Result in crash signatures like:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098
IP: [<ffffffff8115e100>] sysfs_create_dir+0x32/0xb6

In this scenario the parent is still valid (because we have a
reference), but it has been device_del()'d which means its kobj->sd
pointer is NULL'd via:

device_del()->kobject_del()->sysfs_remove_dir()

...and then sysfs_create_dir() (without this fix) goes ahead and
de-references parent_sd via sysfs_ns_type():

return (sd->s_flags & SYSFS_NS_TYPE_MASK) >> SYSFS_NS_TYPE_SHIFT;

This scenario is being fixed in scsi/libsas, but if other subsystems
present the same ordering the system need not immediately crash.
