Subject: [PATCH 0/3] THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK prep work for arm64+s390

Hi all,

Heiko and I have been working on THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for s390 and arm64
respectively, and we're both targetting v4.10.

These are the common core changes which we both require, which happen to
touch x86 and some core headers. We'd either need these merged for
v4.9-rc*, or placed on a stable branch/tag that we can both base atop
of.

I've put together a branch [1,2] based on v4.9-rc1, but the patches themselves
are sorely lacking in relevant acks. Are people willing to help change that? ;)

Thanks,
Mark.
