Subject: [GIT PULL] kmemcheck updates for tip/kmemcheck

Ingo,

Here follows a small update to the REP instruction handling and removal
of some obsolete code (if you worry that this is useful code, git will
save it for us and it can be revived if needed. I believe that the code
is simply a burden as it is today).

I couldn't figure out how to merge v2.6.27-rc5 without littering the
pull request with all the commits that were made in Linus's repository
since v2.6.27-rc3, but feel free to do it yourself. There should be no
conflicts.

You may also delete the tip/kmemcheck-dma branch as this has now been
integrated since the last pull you did.


The following changes since commit db4b0f1e8ae7c9ffde8bef2eb3dcd4fad5988ac1:
  Vegard Nossum (1):
        kmemcheck: implement REP MOVS/STOS emulation

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vegard/kmemcheck.git for-tip

Vegard Nossum (3):
      kmemcheck: hide/show pages in each iteration of a REP instruction
      kmemcheck: rip out the optimized memset()
      kmemcheck: rip out SMP code
