Hello!

This series provides fixes for a couple of CONFIG_PREEMPT problems on
Power:

1.	The hpte_need_flush() function accesses per-CPU variables without
	protection.
2.	The rtas_event_scan() function needs to use raw_smp_processor_id()
	to get a starting point to avoid debugging splats.

There are probably a few more where these came from.  ;-)

								Thanx, Paul
