Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the powerpc changes for the 3.11 merge window. In addition to the usual bug fixes and small updates, the main highlights are: - Support for transparent huge pages by Aneesh Kumar for 64-bit server processors. This allows the use of 16M pages as transparent huge pages on kernels compiled with a 64K base page size. - Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy - Wiring up of our nvram to the pstore infrastructure, including putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah - Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling and recovery) infrastructure. It is no longer specific to pseries but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no hypervisor) by Gavin Shan. - I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded processors). - Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael Ellerman. This facility allows what is basically "userspace interrupts" for performance monitor events. - A bunch of Transactional Memory vs. Signals bug fixes and HW breakpoint/watchpoint fixes by Michael Neuling. And more ... I appologize in advance if I've failed to highlight something that somebody deemed worth it." * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (156 commits) pstore: Add hsize argument in write_buf call of pstore_ftrace_call powerpc/fsl: add MPIC timer wakeup support powerpc/mpic: create mpic subsystem object powerpc/mpic: add global timer support powerpc/mpic: add irq_set_wake support powerpc/85xx: enable coreint for all the 64bit boards powerpc/8xx: Erroneous double irq_eoi() on CPM IRQ in MPC8xx powerpc/fsl: Enable CONFIG_E1000E in mpc85xx_smp_defconfig powerpc/mpic: Add get_version API both for internal and external use powerpc: Handle both new style and old style reserve maps powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when validating DAWR region end powerpc/pseries: Support compression of oops text via pstore powerpc/pseries: Re-organise the oops compression code pstore: Pass header size in the pstore write callback powerpc/powernv: Fix iommu initialization again powerpc/pseries: Inform the hypervisor we are using EBB regs powerpc/perf: Add power8 EBB support powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s powerpc/perf: Drop MMCRA from thread_struct powerpc/perf: Don't enable if we have zero events ...
