SH2(A) cache update nommu: Provide vmalloc_exec(). add addrespace definition for sh2a. sh: Kill off ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT and remnants of a.out support. sh: define GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ. sh: define GENERIC_LOCKBREAK. sh: Save NUMA node data in vmcore for crash dumps. sh: module_alloc() should be using vmalloc_exec(). sh: Fix up __bug_table handling in module loader. sh: Add documentation and integrate into docbook build. sh: Fix up broken kerneldoc comments. maple: Kill useless private_data pointer. maple: Clean up maple_driver_register/unregister routines. input: Clean up maple keyboard driver maple: allow removal and reinsertion of keyboard driver module sh: /proc/asids depends on MMU. arch/sh/boards/mach-se/7343/irq.c: removed duplicated #include arch/sh/boards/board-ap325rxa.c: removed duplicated #include sh/boards/Makefile typo fix ...
