Hi Linus,

Please pull these two arm64 fixes for -rc6. We've got a regression fix for
the signal raised when userspace makes an unsupported unaligned access and a
revert of the contiguous (hugepte) support for hugetlb, which has once again
been found to be broken. One day, maybe, we'll get it right.

Cheers,

Will
