[ 3.8-stable ]

On Russell's advice I intend to hold off on applying some of the ARM
security-fixes commits to the imminent v3.8.13.7 release, and instead
pick them up in the next 3.8-stable cycle.  Specifically:

These previously announced commits will NOT be included in 3.8.13.7:

        2ba85e7 ARM: Fix FIQ code on VIVT CPUs
        f6f91b0 ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the vector page
        e39e3f3 ARM: update FIQ support for relocation of vectors

These still WILL be included in 3.8.13.7:

        0cb79f8 ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs
        b9e2c32 ARM: move vector stubs
        6810219 ARM: poison memory between kuser helpers
        73c083a ARM: poison the vectors page

(Aaro, I'll make sure to keep e39e3f3 and 2ba85e7 together when I pick
them up).

Any objections?
