Current git: good!

Current git: good!

[Meelis Roos]

I tested todays git (3.18.0-rc1-00422-g2cc9188) on a bunch of machines 
and it seems good. THP, RED state on reboot, SIGBUS and gcc-4.9 problems 
are all gone and I did not notice any new (except already broken V480 
but I will dig some more to make a better report or two). Than you for 
the good work!

The machines tested:

U1, U2 (with esp blkmq patch)
U5, Blade 100, V100, E3500, Netra X1
V210, V245, V440
T2000 (bare hardware)

Not tested yet:
U10 - has radeon detection hang now that PCI allocation is fixed
E220R, E420R - I need to set up RSC, no problems expected
E250, E450 - not currently wired up (need to set up RSC on E250).

There are some warnings in dmesg, I will look when I have time and 
report (RCU on E3500 is probably new, others not).

Additionally, I have noted network instability with tulip driver on 
Netra X1 in the past, but during testing with iperf it seems stable but 
asymmetric (91 Mbps in one direction, 31 in another) - I will keep an 
eye open.

Considering the state of your machines half a year ago this really looks good.
Well done from both of you.
