Re: vmsplice exploits, stack protector and Makefiles

[Linus Torvalds]

Ingo, 
 if you're merging this, please do the independent parts really 
independenrly. For example, the above is a patch in its own right, and 
probably worth doing regardless of anything else.

(Same goes for the ACPI parts, I'll bounce that part to Len,
