3f245e2a1e [POWERPC] Probe Efika platform before CHRP.
The Efika matches chrp_probe() too, so put its own probe first to make
sure we get it right in a multiplatform build.

d28d027ab3 [POWERPC] Fix build of cell zImage.initrd
The patch adding support for zImage.ps3 didn't add a zImage.initrd.ps3
target causing builds of zImage.initrd to fail when ps3 is included in
the .config. The current method of generating ps3 images doesn't support
initrd's yet, so we create a dummy target that only displays a warning
message instead.

6f67f9d26f [POWERPC] Workaround oldworld OF bug with IRQs & P2P bridges
On some oldworld PowerMacs, OF doesn't assign interrupts properly
beyond P2P bridges. Fortunately, the fix is easy as all those machines
just wire all IRQ lines together to one IRQ which is assigned to the
bridge itself. We already have a special function for parsing Apple
OldWorld interrupts which are special, so let's add to it the ability
to walk up the PCI tree to find interrupts.

This fixes irqs on the lower slots of s900 clones among others.

ccb4911598 [POWERPC] spufs: fix assignment of node numbers
The difference between 'nid' and 'node' fields in an
spu structure was used incorrectly. The common 'node'
number now reflects the NUMA node, and it is used
in other places in the code as well.

The 'nid' value is meaningful only in one place, namely
the computation of the interrupt numbers based on the
physical location of an spu.  Consequently, we look it
up directly in the place where it is used now.

da1cf23efe [S390] Save prefix register for dump on panic
The dump tools expect that the saved prefix register points to the
lowcore of the dump cpu. Since we set the prefix register to 0 during
reipl/dump, we have to save the original prefix register. Before we
start the dump program, we copy the original prefix register to the
designated location in the lowcore.

a45e14148f [S390] Fix reboot hang on LPARs
Reboot hangs on LPARs without diag308 support. The reason for this is,
that before the reboot is done, the channel subsystem is shut down.
During the reset on each possible subchannel a "store subchannel" is
done. This operation can end in a program check interruption, if the
specified subchannel set is not implemented by the hardware. During
the reset, currently we do not have a program check handler, which
leads to the described kernel bug. We install now a new program check
handler for the reboot code to fix this problem.

df3e0d1c69 [IA64] kprobe clears qp bits for special instructions
On IA64 there exists some special instructions which
always need to be executed regradless of qp bits, such
as com.crel.unc, tbit.trel.unc etc.
This patch clears qp bits when inserting kprobe trap code
and disables probepoint on slot 1 for these special
instructions.

08ed38b680 [IA64] enable trap code on slot 1
Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive
8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on
slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and
changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break
number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle).

For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits,
kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled.

75f6a1de41 [IA64] Take defensive stance on ia64_pal_get_brand_info()
Stephane thought he saw a problem here (but was just confused
by the return value from ia64_pal_get_brand_info()).  But we
should be more defensive here in case an prototype PAL for
a future processor doesn't implement this PAL call.

a460ef8d0a [IA64] fix possible XPC deadlock when disconnecting
This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC
disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will
occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making
callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will
not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now
downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that
there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout
to the registerer.

1cf24bdbbb [IA64] - Reduce overhead of FP exception logging messages
Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits
logging of messages.

There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code.

1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never
   updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on
   EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line.
   The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test
   from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!!

2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because
   multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at
   about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages
   are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate
   to ~1 per second.
