Merge tag 'for-linus-20130509' of git://git.infradead.org/~dwmw2/random-2.6
Pull misc fixes from David Woodhouse:
"This is some miscellaneous cleanups that don't really belong anywhere
else (or were ignored), that have been sitting in linux-next for some
time. Two of them are fixes resulting from my audit of krealloc()
usage that don't seem to have elicited any response when I posted
them, and the other three are patches from Artem removing dead code."
