Merge branch 'x86-smap-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86/smap support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This adds support for the SMAP (Supervisor Mode Access Prevention) CPU
  feature on Intel CPUs: a hardware feature that prevents unintended
  user-space data access from kernel privileged code.

  It's turned on automatically when possible.

  This, in combination with SMEP, makes it even harder to exploit kernel
  bugs such as NULL pointer dereferences."

Fix up trivial conflict in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S due to newly added
includes right next to each other.
