    I'm getting a pile of build errors from this patchset (and related
    patches). Due to messed up merge fixing, probably. Please the review
    process has been a bit bumpy.

    So I'll drop

    kasan-allow-kasan_check_read-write-to-accept-pointers-to-volatiles.patch
    asm-generic-x86-wrap-atomic-operations.patch
    asm-generic-x86-wrap-atomic-operations-fix.patch
    asm-generic-add-kasan-instrumentation-to-atomic-operations.patch
    asm-generic-fix-compilation-failure-in-cmpxchg_double.patch
    x86-remove-unused-atomic_inc_short.patch
    x86-asm-generic-add-kasan-instrumentation-to-bitops.patch

    for now. Please resend (against -mm or linux-next) when the dust has
    settled.
