Allow the callout data to be passed as a blob rather than a string for internal
kernel services that call any request_key_*() interface other than
request_key(). request_key() itself still takes a NUL-terminated string.
The functions that change are:

Increase the size of a payload that can be used to instantiate a key in
add_key() and keyctl_instantiate_key(). This permits huge CIFS SPNEGO blobs to
be passed around. The limit is raised to 1MB. If kmalloc() can't allocate a
buffer of sufficient size, vmalloc() will be tried instead.

These patches add local caching for network filesystems such as NFS.
The patches can roughly be broken down into a number of sets:

The locks are taken in the mmu_ops patch. This patch does not hold them
while performing the callbacks.

The callback function acpi_ns_get_device_callback called from
acpi_get_devices() will check CID's if the HID does not match. This code

so that any CID match will do.

The following patch series fixes some bugs in how Linux determines
whether PCIe Advance Error Reporting (AER) is supported on a platform. It
is currently broken on at least HP IA-64 systems.

OK, time to bite the bullet, it's ugly, but we can now do the cleanups
