Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the tip tree with the rr tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in arch/Kconfig
between commit 9a9d5786a5e7 ("Make most arch asm/module.h files use
asm-generic/module.h") from the rr tree and commits fdf9c356502a
("cputime: Make finegrained irqtime accounting generally available") and
2b1d5024e17b ("rcu: Settle config for userspace extended quiescent
state") from the tip tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action
is required).

+ 	  TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs
