Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
- Fix arch_memremap_can_ram_remap() which incorrectly passed a PFN to
memblock_is_map_memory rather than the actual address.
- Disallow kernel mode NEON when IRQs are disabled
Explanation:
"To avoid having to preserve/restore kernel mode NEON state when
such a softirq is taken softirqs are now disabled when using the
NEON from task context."
should explain that it's nested kernel mode.
In other words, softirqs from user mode are fine, because the context
will be preserved. softirqs from kernel mode may be from a context
that has already saved the user NEON state, and thus we would need to
preserve the NEON state for the parent kernel mode context, and this
we don't allow.
The problem occurs when the kernel context disables hard IRQs, and
then uses NEON. When it's finished, and restores the userspace NEON
state, we call local_bh_enable() with hard IRQs disabled, which
causes a warning.
This commit addresses that by disallowing the use of NEON with hard
IRQs disabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
