Merge commit 'v2.6.30-rc3' into tracing/hw-branch-tracing
Conflicts:
arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c
Merge reason: fix the conflict above, and also pick up the CONFIG_BROKEN
dependency change from upstream so that we can remove it
here.

Users can + select significant versions among continuously created checkpoints, + and can change them into snapshots which will be preserved for long + periods until they are changed back to checkpoints. Each + snapshot is mountable as a read-only file system concurrently with + its writable mount, and this feature is convenient for online backup. + + Some features including atime, extended attributes, and POSIX ACLs, + are not supported yet. + + To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the + module will be called nilfs2.
