This is the 3rd version of patches implementing Linux kernel support for
the 64-bit ARM architecture. Most of the review comments for the
previous release have been implemented. There are a few left (like
generic timer dts specification) but the main goal was to freeze the
user ABI.

The Linux kernel patches are available on this tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64.git upstream

Main changes since the previous version:
- ptrace interface now using regsets for TLS and hardware debug
  registers.
- sys_personality fixes. PER_LINUX is the default for all tasks (32 or
  64-bit) and there is no compat_sys_personality defined.
- Kconfig clean-up (unused symbols, AARCH32_EMULATION removed in favour
  of COMPAT).
- Clean-up of the __cpuc_* function prefixes.
- CPU information table implemented in C rather than assembly.
- __bad_* function calls replaced with BUILD_BUG.
- Inline get_user/put_user (code cleaner, slightly bigger kernel Image).
- DMA API implementation simplified, defaulting to swiotlb. It will be
  extended as hardware becomes available.
- Arch-specific code in the generic timer patch moved to arch/arm64/.
- Comment fixes and clarifications.

I see that a good amount of the comments I had on v2 have neither been replied
to nor addressed.

Sorry, as I said above, my main focus was get the user ABI sorted out as
a code is public and there are people that started using it. There are
still a few emails marked as "unread" in my inbox that need to be
addressed but I did not consider them critical for version 3 of the
series. They are not forgotten, however, I'm working back through those
emails and either reply or implement the suggestions.
