Linus,
Please do:
git pull \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git merge
to get the last set of PowerPC updates for 2.6.18.
There are:
* A fix for the DART code from Ben H, which fixes the tg3 data
corruption issue that we have been chasing (it turned out that
adding barriers in tg3.c or to readl/writel didn't fix the problem).
* Changes to the readX/writeX and related functions to make them have
the expected semantics, i.e. ordered w.r.t. previous accesses to
RAM, etc.
* An implementation of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic.
* A compile fix for the 86xx platforms.
* A couple of kdump fixes.
* A couple of defconfig updates.
Thanks,
Paul.

[POWERPC] Fix G5 DART (IOMMU) race causing occasional data corruption
It seems that the occasional data corruption observed with the tg3
driver wasn't due to missing barriers after all, but rather seems to
be due to the DART (= IOMMU) in the U4 northbridge reading stale
IOMMU table entries from memory due to a race. This fixes it by
making the CPU read the entry back from memory before using it.

[POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.
To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.
Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.
This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.
Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.

[POWERPC] Fix interrupt clearing in kdump shutdown sequence

[POWERPC] kdump: Support kernels having 64k page size.
This is required to generate proper core files using kdump on ppc64.
Create a backup region of 64K size irrespective of the PAGE SIZE.
At present 32K was used as backup size. In the case of 64K page size,
second PT_LOAD segments starts at 32K and the first one is not page
aligned. __ioremap() (crash_dump.c) fails if pfn = 0 which is the
case for the second PT_LOAD segment. This is not an issue for 4K page
size because the the first page (32K backup) is copied to second
kernel memory and thus referencing with the second kernel pfn.

[POWERPC] Implement PowerPC futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic().
The sys_[gs]et_robust_list() syscalls were wired up on PowerPC but
didn't work correctly because futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() wasn't
implemented. Implement it, based on __cmpxchg_u32().
