Kernel prepatch 4.2-rc1

Linus has released 4.2-rc1 and closed the merge window for this development cycle. As Linus explains, 4.2 may, in the end, not end up being the development cycle with the most commits ever, but there is still a lot going on. "However, if you count the size in pure number of lines changed, this really seems to be the biggest rc we've ever had, with over a million lines added (and about a quarter million removed). That beats the previous champion (3.11-rc1) that was huge mainly due to Lustre being added to the staging tree." The source of the biggest chunk of those new lines is the new amdgpu graphics driver.
