Hi Linus !

[ This is a resent of Wed. email in case you missed it while away ]

Here are a couple of fixes for 3.15. One from Anton fixes a nasty regression
I introduced when trying to fix a loss of irq_work whose consequences is
that we can completely lose timer interrupts on a CPU... not pretty.

The other one is a change to our PCIe reset hook to use a firmware call
instead of direclnet config space accesses to trigger a fundamental reset
on the root port. This is necessary so that the FW gets a chance to
disable the link down error monitoring, which would otherwise trip
and cause subsequent fatal EEH error.

Cheers,
Ben.
