Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a collection of minor fixes for x86, plus the IRET information
  leak fix (forbid the use of 16-bit segments in 64-bit mode)"

NOTE! We may have to relax the "forbid the use of 16-bit segments in
64-bit mode" part, since there may be people who still run and depend on
16-bit Windows binaries under Wine.

But I'm taking this in the current unconditional form for now to see who
(if anybody) screams bloody murder.  Maybe nobody cares.  And maybe
we'll have to update it with some kind of runtime enablement (like our
vm.mmap_min_addr tunable that people who run dosemu/qemu/wine already
need to tweak).

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
