Merge branch 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
* 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, amd: Include linux/elf.h since we use stuff from asm/elf.h
x86: cache_info: Update calculation of AMD L3 cache indices
x86: cache_info: Kill the atomic allocation in amd_init_l3_cache()
x86: cache_info: Kill the moronic shadow struct
x86: cache_info: Remove bogus free of amd_l3_cache data
x86, amd: Include elf.h explicitly, prepare the code for the module.h split
x86-32, amd: Move va_align definition to unbreak 32-bit build
x86, amd: Move BSP code to cpu_dev helper
x86: Add a BSP cpu_dev helper
x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h
