Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt: "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window. It is going to be a bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to maintain and that nobody really used anymore. Here are some of the highlights: - Legacy iSeries is gone. Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks hopefully. - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"... it's a rewrite of a mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the new implementation hopefully being much more reliable. Thanks Mahesh Salgaonkar. - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare. The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is there. Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is not very nice and which Grant objects to. I will have a patch soon that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully getting rid of the need for that pointer completely). Thanks Gavin Shan. - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page fault retry & fatal signals on page faults. - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..." I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from Grant Likely, hopefully correctly. * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (141 commits) powerpc/ps3: Do not adjust the wrapper load address powerpc: Remove the rest of the legacy iSeries include files powerpc: Remove the remaining CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES pieces init: Remove CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES powerpc: Remove FW_FEATURE ISERIES from arch code tty/hvc_vio: FW_FEATURE_ISERIES is no longer selectable powerpc/spufs: Fix double unlocks powerpc/5200: convert mpc5200 to use of_platform_populate() powerpc/mpc5200: add options to mpc5200_defconfig powerpc/mpc52xx: add a4m072 board support powerpc/mpc5200: update mpc5200_defconfig to fit for charon board Documentation/powerpc/mpc52xx.txt: Checkpatch cleanup powerpc/44x: Add additional device support for APM821xx SoC and Bluestone board powerpc/44x: Add support PCI-E for APM821xx SoC and Bluestone board MAINTAINERS: Update PowerPC 4xx tree powerpc/44x: The bug fixed support for APM821xx SoC and Bluestone board powerpc: document the FSL MPIC message register binding powerpc: add support for MPIC message register API powerpc/fsl: Added aliased MSIIR register address to MSI node in dts powerpc/85xx: mpc8548cds - add 36-bit dts ...
