Subject: [GIT pull] x86 fixes for 3.10

Linus,

please pull the latest x86-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

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

Content:

	* Fix for a CPU hot-add deadlock in microcode update code

	* Fix for idle consolidation fallout 

	* Documentation update for initial kernel direct mapping

Thanks,

	tglx
