Merge branch 'akpm' (updates from Andrew Morton)
Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:
- misc fixes
- audit stuff
- fanotify/inotify/dnotify things
- most of the rest of MM. The new cache shrinker code from Glauber and
Dave Chinner probably isn't quite stabilized yet.
- ptrace
- ipc
- partitions
- reboot cleanups
- add LZ4 decompressor, use it for kernel compression
