Subject: [GIT PULL] x86 fixes for 2.6.34-rc6

Hi Linus,

The following changes since commit 05ce7bfe547c9fa967d9cab6c37867a9cb6fb3fa:
  Linus Torvalds (1):
        Merge branch 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/.../jack/linux-fs-2.6

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip.git x86-fixes-for-linus

H. Peter Anvin (2):
      x86-64: Clear a 64-bit FS/GS base on fork if selector is nonzero
      x86: Disable large pages on CPUs with Atom erratum AAE44

Jacob Pan (1):
      x86, mrst: Conditionally register cpu hotplug notifier for apbt

Note: expect another drop as soon as we have integrated and tested the
currently pending patches, including Thomas' HPET patch and Bjorn's
PCI patch.
