Linux 4.16 rc1

Two weeks have passed, -rc1 is out there, and the merge window is thus over.I don't want to jinx anything, but things certainly look a lot betterthan with 4.15. We have no (known) nasty surprises pending, and therewere no huge issues during the merge window. Fingers crossed that thisstays fairly calm and sane.As usual, I'm only appending my mergelog, because while this is notshaping up to be a particularly huge release, none of our recentreleases have been small enough to describe with the shortlogs I usefor later rc's.The actual diff is dominated by drivers, and once again the GPUpatches stand out - this time some AMD GPU header files. Happily, thistime the bulk of those lines is actually *removal* due to cleanups andgetting rid of some unused headers.But there really is changes all over. Drivers may be the bulk (GPU,networking,  staging, media, sound, infiniband, scsi and misc smallersubsystems), but we have a fair amount of arch updates (spectre andmeltdown fixes for non-x86 architectures, but also some further x86work, and just general arch updates). And there's networking,filesystem updates, documentation, tooling..There's a little bit for everybody, in other words.Go out and test,                  Linus
