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

Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:

  lib/Kconfig.debug

between commit:

  96efc4fed452 ("arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug")

from the nvdimm tree and commit:

  3e138efd477e ("UBSAN: run-time undefined behavior sanity checker")

from the akpm-current tree.

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