Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc updates for v3.16

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest parisc architecture fixes for kernel 3.16 from 
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-3.16-5

The major patch in here is one which fixes the fanotify_mark() syscall in the
compat layer of the 64bit parisc kernel. It went unnoticed so long, because the
calling syntax when using a 64bit parameter in a 32bit syscall is quite complex
and even worse, it may be even different if you call syscall() or the glibc
wrapper. This patch makes the kernel accept the calling convention when called
by the glibc wrapper.

The other two patches are trivial and remove unused headers, #includes and adds
the serial ports of the fastest C8000 workstation to the parisc-kernel internal
hardware database.

Thanks,
Helge
