Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  arm: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  x86, um: convert to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics
  make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves
  make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()
  ppc: eeh_event should just use kthread_run()
  don't bother with kernel_thread/kernel_execve for launching linuxrc
  alpha: get rid of switch_stack argument of do_work_pending()
  alpha: don't bother passing switch_stack separately from regs
  alpha: take SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME loop into signal.c
  alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handling

32bit wrapper is lost on that; 64bit one is *not*, since
we need to arrange for full pt_regs on stack when we call
sys_execve() and we need to load callee-saved ones from
there afterwards.
