Hi Linus,

Please pull hopefully the last two powerpc fixes for 4.12.

The CXL one is larger than I'd usually send at rc7, but it fixes new
code this cycle, so better to have it working for the release. It was
actually sent a few weeks back but got blocked in testing behind another
fix that was causing issues.

We are still tracking one crash in v4.12-rc7, but only one person has
reproduced it and the commit identified by bisect doesn't touch any of
the relevant code, so I think it's 50/50 whether that commit is actually
the problem or it's some code layout / toolchain issue.

cheers
