I merged that pile (after fixing the compiler warnings - SIGH) with the
proviso that

 - the cache line issue vs. the default and current pqr state gets resolved

 - the worst case latency problem with the smp function call gets addressed

I decided to merge it now so it gets exposure in next, as I'm going to
vanish for my usual summer camp activity for the next 10 days and I don't
want to do that huge thing as a last minute merge post rc5.

Upstream merging into 4.14 depends on the resolution of the open issues.

Thanks,
