Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc fixes for 3.6-rc3

This is two bug fixes: one fixes a loophole where rt_sigprocmask() with
the wrong values panics the box (Denial of Service) and the other fixes
an aliasing problem with get_shared_area() which could cause data
corruption.

The patches are here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/parisc-2.6.git parisc-fixes

The short changelog is:

Al Viro (1):
      fix user-triggerable panic on parisc

James Bottomley (1):
      fix virtual aliasing issue in get_shared_area()
