Koen Kooi aefc6c8c3c linux-ti33x-psp 3.2: rebase patches onto latest git
The psp tree added a patch to limit the beaglebone to 500MHz when powered by USB, which triggered conflicts in the patches. The 3.2.16 series has been rediffed as well, no functional changes.

Subject: [PATCH 19/68] sparc64: Eliminate obsolete __handle_softirq()
function
commit 3d3eeb2ef26112a200785e5fca58ec58dd33bf1e upstream.
The invocation of softirq is now handled by irq_exit(), so there is no
need for sparc64 to invoke it on the trap-return path. In fact, doing so
is a bug because if the trap occurred in the idle loop, this invocation
can result in lockdep-RCU failures. The problem is that RCU ignores idle
CPUs, and the sparc64 trap-return path to the softirq handlers fails to
tell RCU that the CPU must be considered non-idle while those handlers
are executing. This means that RCU is ignoring any RCU read-side critical
sections in those handlers, which in turn means that RCU-protected data
can be yanked out from under those read-side critical sections.
The shiny new lockdep-RCU ability to detect RCU read-side critical sections
that RCU is ignoring located this problem.
The fix is straightforward: Make sparc64 stop manually invoking the
softirq handlers.
