Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/misc for 7.0-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull the usual smattering of x86/misc changes for 7.0-rc1.

The IPv6 patch in here surprised me in a couple of ways. First, the
function it inlines is able to eat a lot more CPU time than I would
have expected. Second, the inlining does not seem to bloat the
kernel, at least in the configs folks have tested.
