      Pull ACCESS_ONCE cleanup preparation from Christian Borntraeger:
       "kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
      
        As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
        ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
        accesses.
      
        Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
      
        The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE.  If the data
        structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
        warning is emitted.  The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
        ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.
      
        This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
        on scalar types.  This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux
        next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs.
        non-scalar types"
