Hi Linus !

Here are a handful of small powerpc fixes. A couple of section mismatches
(always worth fixing), a missing export of a new symbol causing build
failures of modules, a page fault deadlock fix (interestingly that
bug has been around for a LONG time, though it seems to be more easily
triggered by KVM) and fixing pseries default idle loop in the absence of
the cpuidle drivers (such as during boot).

Cheers,
Ben.
