Linus Torvalds 2dc10ad81f arm64 updates for 4.4:
- "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
   upstreamed via the arm64 tree
 
 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
   where CPUs may not have exactly the same features. The features
   reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
   delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)
 
 - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT
 
 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64
 
 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
   with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
   feasible)
 
 - KASan support for arm64
 
 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
   KASan)
 
 - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)
 
 - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework
 
 - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware
 
 - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
   entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)
 
 - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64
 
 - defconfig updates
