Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here's the big driver-core pull request for 3.17-rc1.

Largest thing in here is the dma-buf rework and fence code, that
touched many different subsystems so it was agreed it should go

loading updates, as well as tests added, and a few other tiny changes,
the changelog has the details.

All have been in linux-next for a long time"
