Merge tag 'metag-v3.9-rc1-v4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag
Pull new ImgTec Meta architecture from James Hogan:
"This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
fixes which I kept separate to ease review:
- Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
- A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
- A few privilege protection fixes
- Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of
metag_ksyms.c)
- Fix some missing exports
- Convert hugetlb to use vm_unmapped_area()
- Copy device tree to non-init memory
- Provide dma_get_sgtable()"
