Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the arm tree with Linus' tree

Hi Russell,

Today's linux-next merge of the arm tree got a conflict in
arch/arm/kernel/process.c between commit 909af768e888 ("coredump: remove
VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag") from the  tree and commit e19d478e808e ("ARM:
7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mapping") from the arm
tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary.

Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell                    sfr@...b.auug.org.au
