Merge branch 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
x86, cpu: Fix detection of Celeron Covington stepping A1 and B0
Documentation, ABI: Update L3 cache index disable text
x86, AMD, cacheinfo: Fix L3 cache index disable checks
x86, AMD, cacheinfo: Fix fallout caused by max3 conversion
x86, cpu: Change NOP selection for certain Intel CPUs
x86, cpu: Clean up and unify the NOP selection infrastructure
x86, percpu: Use ASM_NOP4 instead of hardcoding P6_NOP4
x86, cpu: Move AMD Elan Kconfig under "Processor family"
Fix up trivial conflicts in alternative handling (commit dc326fca2b64
"x86, cpu: Clean up and unify the NOP selection infrastructure" removed
some hacky 5-byte instruction stuff, while commit d430d3d7e646 "jump
label: Introduce static_branch() interface" renamed HAVE_JUMP_LABEL to
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL in the code that went away)
