Hi Linus !

Here are a few more fixes for powerpc 3.10. It's a bit more than I would
have liked this late in the game but I suppose that's what happens with
a brand new chip generation coming out.

A few regression fixes, some last minute fixes for new P8 features such
as transactional memory,...

There's also one powerpc KVM patch that I requested that adds two
missing functions to our in-kernel interrupt controller support which
is itself a new 3.10 feature. These are defined by the base hypervisor
specification. We didn't implement them originally because Linux doesn't
use them but they are simple and I'm not comfortable having a
half-implemented interface in 3.10 and having to deal with versionning
etc... later when something starts needing those calls. They cannot be
emulated in qemu when using in-kernel interrupt controller (not enough
shared state).

Cheers,
Ben.
