Hi Arnd,

I've queued all but the following, which didn't look like fixes to me:

block: partition: add partition specific uevent callbacks for partition info
coresight: removing bind/unbind options from sysfs
stm class: Hide STM-specific options if STM is disabled
arm64: mm: mark fault_info table const
dma mapping : export caller to vmallocinfo
s390: add DEBUG_RODATA support
arm64: support keyctl() system call in 32-bit mode

Any reason they should be included?
