The known problems (including the unit test failures) are all fixed by

98c0cc48e27e apparmor: fix policy_unpack_test on big endian systems
5a4c785905fd Revert "MIPS: csrc-r4k: Apply verification clocksource flags"
0075df288dd8 microblaze: don't treat zero reserved memory regions as error

For those interested in details, SHAs are from my 'fixes' branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging.git.
That branch is rebased on top of mainline on a regular basis, so please
don't expect the SHAs to persist for more than a day or two.
