Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the akpm tree with the tip tree

Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in
include/linux/mm.h between commit 1dbd3d35fe64 ("mm/pgprot: Move the
pgprot_modify() fallback definition to mm.h") from the tip tree and
commit "mm, x86, pat: rework linear pfn-mmap tracking" from the akpm tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action
is required).

Cheers,
