Linux 3.16 rc5

Things are looking normal, and as usual, I _wish_ there was a bit less
churn going on since it’s getting fairly late in the rc cycle, but
honestly, it’s not like there is anything that really raises any
eyebrows here.

The bulk of this is drivers – with acpi and gpu sticking out, if only
by a hair. It’s pretty mixed, really (hid, hwmon, iio, thermal, clk
drivers, libata, pinctrl, etc). There’s the usual architecture updates
(mostly arm, some powerpc), there’s some docbook fixes, and there’s a
couple of filesystem fixes (f2fs, kernfs and ext4). With a smattering
of small core fixes (mainly cgroup) too.

Go forth and test,
Linus
