Linux 3.4-rc7

This is almost certainly the last -rc in this series - things really
have calmed down, and I even considered just cutting 3.4 this weekend,
but felt that another week wouldn't hurt.

The appended shortlog gives a good overview - it's mostly random tiny
fixes for very small specific issues. The biggest commit (and the one
that might affect the most people) is likely the Nouveau i2c change,
and that one is really just a revert. It changes nouveau back to use
the generic i2c-algo-bit routines - the problem they had had been
fixed in the meantime, and the specialized i2c nouveau routines had
issues of their own.

The rest is mainly small changes in various areas: drivers
(networking, drm, scsi, sound and md) arch updates (arm, powerpc and
x86) and random other areas - core networking, a compat fix, stuff
like that. No scary changes.

So go forth and test. And don't send me any pull requests unless they
contain *only* regressions or fixes for really nasty bugs. No more of
these silly compiler warning fixes etc any more.

Linux 3.4-rc2

Another week, another -rc. It actually *felt* pretty calm, but
according to the numbers it's a fairly average -rc2, maybe it even has
slightly more changes than usual.

That said, there doesn't seem to be a lot of scary stuff. A fair
amount of the changes are some (hopefully largely final) fixups for
the header file changes, and then there are the three pull requests
mentioned in -the rc1 announcement: HSI (high-speed serial interface)
framework, dma-buf prime, and the DMA mapping stuff. Those three all
got several people piping up and saying "yes, please pull". Pohmelfs
didn't get merged, for the simple reason that nobody actually asked
for it.

Apart from the header file fixups and the three delayed pulls, there's
the usual fixes. I'm going to be stricter about pulls from here on
out, there was a lot of "noise", not just pure fixes. Some of it as
induced by me: a series of selinux patches by Eric Paris to make
selinux wrapper stack usage much better.

Bulk of changes in some architecture files (arm, tile, powerpc, x86)
and in drivers (especially a networking but also regulator, drm and
mmc). And some power management updates.

Shortlog is appended. And I'm hoping -rc3 will already have a
noticeably shorter shortlog.
