Pull ACCESS_ONCE cleanup preparation from Christian Borntraeger:
 "kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE

  As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
  ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
  accesses.

  Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.

  The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE.  If the data
  structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
  warning is emitted.  The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
  ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.

  This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
  on scalar types.  This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux
  next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs.
  non-scalar types"
