Hello, Linus!

This patch was merged into a recent linux-next, unfortunately it breaks
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y compilation:

arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S:159: Error: r13 not allowed here -- `bic
tsk,sp,#(((1<<12)<<1)-1)&~63'
arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S:246: Error: r13 not allowed here -- `bic
tsk,sp,#(((1<<12)<<1)-1)&~63'
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:361:
