Merge branch 'x86/mpx' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 cpufeature and mpx updates from Peter Anvin:
 "This includes the basic infrastructure for MPX (Memory Protection
  Extensions) support, but does not include MPX support itself.  It is,
  however, a prerequisite for KVM support for MPX, which I believe will
  be pushed later this merge window by the KVM team.

  This includes moving the functionality in
  futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() into a new function in uaccess.h so it
  can be reused - this will be used by the final MPX patches.

  The actual MPX functionality (map management and so on) will be pushed
  in a future merge window, when ready"
