A variant of this went upstream (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/681567/)
and with a cc to stable.

This bit should get backported to stable.

Currently the power management bits are broken w.r.t. relocation.
There are direct branches from system_reset_pSeries to
power7_wakeup_*. The correct way to do it is to do what
the slb miss handler does, which is jump to a small stub within
the first 64k of relocated address and then jump to the actual
location

The code has been lightly tested (not the kvm bits), I would highly
appreciate a review of the code. I suspect there might be easy
to find bugs :)
