Pulled. However, I notice that the following issue remains with module
key signing, and I *think* it was introduced in the -rc1 pull:

 - start with clean kernel sources

 - build kernel ("make -j16" or whatever after doing your config)

 - build kernel again ("make -j" - nothing has changed):

   ...
   X.509 certificate list changed
     CERTS   kernel/x509_certificate_list
     - Including cert /home/torvalds/v2.6/linux/signing_key.x509
     AS      kernel/system_certificates.o
     LD      kernel/built-in.o
   ...

   which causes it to relink the kernel.

 - build kernel yet again, and now finally it doesn't build/link anything.

So some rule for the certificate list seems to be broken. I'm pretty
sure this didn't happen in 3.12. Any ideas?
