[GIT PULL] arm64: updates for 4.1

Hi Linus,

Here are the core arm64 updates for 4.1. Highlights include a significant
rework to head.S (allowing us to boot on machines with physical memory at
a really high address), an AES performance boost on Cortex-A57 and the
ability to run a 32-bit userspace with 64k pages (although this requires
said userspace to be built with a recent binutils).

The head.S rework spilt over into KVM, so there are some changes under
arch/arm/ which have been acked by Marc Zyngier (KVM co-maintainer).
In particular, the linker script changes caused us some issues in -next,
so there are a few merge commits where we had to apply fixes on top of
a stable branch.

Please pull.

Cheers,

Will

  arm64: fix midr range for Cortex-A57 erratum 832075 (2015-04-01 11:12:03 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 updates for 4.1:

The main change here is a significant head.S rework that allows us to
boot on machines with physical memory at a really high address without
having to increase our mapped VA range. Other changes include:

- AES performance boost for Cortex-A57
- AArch32 (compat) userspace with 64k pages
- Cortex-A53 erratum workaround for #845719
- defconfig updates (new platforms, PCI, ...)
