Hi Andrew,

Unfortunately, this is not the only problem currently with my extable
series. The arm64 patch now also conflicts with patches that are
queued in the arm64 tree.

So could you please drop all six of them for now? I will ask Catalin
to take the ones that are essential to the arm64 KASLR implementation
via the arm64 tree, and once that hits mainline, I will rebase and
resubmit the remaining patches.

extable-add-support-for-relative-extables-to-search-and-sort-routines.patch
alpha-extable-use-generic-search-and-sort-routines.patch
s390-extable-use-generic-search-and-sort-routines.patch
x86-extable-use-generic-search-and-sort-routines.patch
ia64-extable-use-generic-search-and-sort-routines.patch
arm64-switch-to-relative-exception-tables.patch

Thanks,
Ard.
