[GIT PULL] arm64: updates for 4.5

Hi Linus,

Here is the core arm64 queue for 4.5. As you might expect, the Christmas
break resulted in a number of patches not making the final cut, so 4.6
is likely to be larger than usual. There's still some useful stuff here,
however, and it's detailed in the tag.

The EFI changes have been Reviewed-by Matt and the memblock change got
an "OK" from akpm [1].

Please pull,

Will

  arm64: head.S: use memset to clear BSS (2016-01-06 16:00:56 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 updates for 4.5:

- Support for a separate IRQ stack, although we haven't reduced the size
  of our thread stack just yet since we don't have enough data to
  determine a safe value

- Refactoring of our EFI initialisation and runtime code into
  drivers/firmware/efi/ so that it can be reused by arch/arm/.

- Ftrace improvements when unwinding in the function graph tracer

- Document our silicon errata handling process

- Cache flushing optimisation when mapping executable pages

- Support for hugetlb mappings using the contiguous hint in the pte
