Subject: Please pull hwpoison updates for 2.6.32-rc5


Linus,

Here are the hwpoison updates for 2.6.32-rc5. These contain bug fixes
from various people, including a workaround for the page flags
races that were discussed earlier, a fix for a workqueue in workqueue
deadlock and a couple of smaller fixes.

I also improved the documentation and did some clean up to the prctl()
interface before it is set in stone.

Please pull.
