Merge net-next/main to resolve conflicts

The wireless-next tree was based on something older, and there
are now conflicts between -rc2 and work here. Merge net-next,
which has enough of -rc2 for the conflicts to happen, resolving
them in the process.

- * To accurately reflect hot un/plug changes of cpu and memory resources

+ * To accurately reflect hot un/plug changes of CPU and Memory resources
+ * (including onling and offlining of those resources), the relevant
+ * kexec segments must be updated with latest CPU and Memory resources.
  *
- * In order to make changes to elfcorehdr, two conditions are needed:
- * First, the segment containing the elfcorehdr must be large enough
- * to permit a growing number of resources; the elfcorehdr memory size
- * is based on NR_CPUS_DEFAULT and CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES.
- * Second, purgatory must explicitly exclude the elfcorehdr from the
- * list of segments it checks (since the elfcorehdr changes and thus
- * would require an update to purgatory itself to update the digest).
+ * Architectures must ensure two things for all segments that need
+ * updating during hotplug events:
+ *
+ * 1. Segments must be large enough to accommodate a growing number of
+ *    resources.
+ * 2. Exclude the segments from SHA verification.
+ *
+ * For example, on most architectures, the elfcorehdr (which is passed
+ * to the crash kernel via the elfcorehdr= parameter) must include the
+ * new list of CPUs and memory. To make changes to the elfcorehdr, it
+ * should be large enough to permit a growing number of CPU and Memory
+ * resources. One can estimate the elfcorehdr memory size based on
+ * NR_CPUS_DEFAULT and CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES. The elfcorehdr is
+ * excluded from SHA verification by default if the architecture
+ * supports crash hotplug.
