So I originally applied all 3 last patches of the series as one
(collapsed them in git) in order to not break bisection.

However, I had to take the series out in the end due to it
causing this error on some of my test configs:

powerpc64-linux-ld: cannot find arch/powerpc/boot/pseries-head.o: No such file or directory

I haven't had a chance to investigate yet, but sadly it looks like
this series might have to wait for the next round.

Ben.
