      Pull randomness updates from Ted Ts'o:
       "Cleanups and bug fixes to /dev/random, add a new getrandom(2) system
        call, which is a superset of OpenBSD's getentropy(2) call, for use
        with userspace crypto libraries such as LibreSSL.
      
        Also add the ability to have a kernel thread to pull entropy from
        hardware rng devices into /dev/random"

      Two ipv6_table_template[] additions overlap, so the index
      of the ipv6_table[x] assignments needed to be adjusted.
      
      In the drivers/net/Makefile case, we've gotten rid of the
      garbage whereby we had to list every single USB networking
      driver in the top-level Makefile, there is just one
      "USB_NETWORKING" that guards everything.

      Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
      
         - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
           Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
           user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
      
         - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
      
         - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
      
         - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
           and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
           definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
      
         - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
      
         - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
           long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
           traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
           for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
      
         - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
      
         - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
      
         - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
      
         - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
           impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
           manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
           specific timers.
      
      [ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
      
         - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
           of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
           a few obnoxious strongholds.
      
         - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"
