[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 0/6] *** SUBJECT HERE ***

Hi Ben,
    
Here is a short series of updates for PS3, none are critical.  Please queue.
These are based on v3.18.  I can rebase to something else if you like.

The first three patches are to have the kernel write the PS3 highmem info to
the LV1 hypervisor registry so that the info will be available to second stage
OS's loaded by petitboot/kexec.  FreeBSD and some Linux derivatives use this
feature.

The next two patches fix some warnings emitted by sparse.

The final patch refreshes ps3_defconfig and enables the highmem info write
feature (CONFIG_PS3_REPOSITORY_WRITE=y) introduced in the first three patches.

-Geoff
