Subject: [GIT PULL] User API split: Preliminary patches

Hi Stephen,

Can you pull the following into linux-next, please?

Here's the first part of the first installment of patches to clean up the
kernel header files and sort out the inclusion recursion problems.  The patches
can be found here:

	http://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers.git

at the:

	uapi-preliminary

tag.

This batch is just the static fixes to things and can be divided into three
groups:

 (1) Fixes that should probably be applied anyway.
 
	Tag: uapi-fixes

     Fixes for ELF, a loop in Sparc's headers and a separation for MIPS's
     Kbuild.

 (2) sys/param.h cleanup.

	Tag: uapi-params

     Make MN10300, M32R and FRV use asm-generic/param.h.

 (3) Guard cleanup and simple rearrangement.

	Tag: uapi-preliminary

     Add missing header file guards and split __KERNEL__ combo guards to make
     them easier for the UAPI splitter to handle.

     Do a little rearrangement of some headers to make them more amenable to
     the UAPI split (some need the UAPI headers #including in the middle of the
     file, after some definitions have been made).

Could you also the second part into linux-next at this time?  That involves
some scripted stuff and may need regenerating.  You can see those patches from
the uapi-preliminary tag up to the uapi-prep tag in the GIT tree.

That then would set the stage for Linus to apply the UAPI disintegration
patches (uapi-prep -> uapi-post-split) after -rc1 if he's willing.  However,
those definitely *will* need regenerating.

I have tried building it with the defconfigs for the following arches: alpha,
arm, blackfin, frv, h8300, m32r, m68k, mips, mn10300, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc,
x86 (i386 and x86_64) and xtensa.
