[PATCH 0/7] powerpc: branch cache flush changes

[Nicholas Piggin]

This series allows the link stack to be flushed with the speical
bcctr 2,0,0 flush instruction that also flushes the count cache if
the processor supports it.

Firmware does not support this at the moment, but I've tested it in
simulator with a patched firmware to advertise support.

Thanks,
Nick
