This patch set is starting to look pretty nice.  I only have a few
comments on some of the patches.

Unfortunately, these patches collide with the patches that have gone
upstream to add the hypervisor assistance for TM on POWER9, so some of
the patches will need to be rebased (in particular patches 2 and 4).
