[PATCH 00/14] powerpc/rtas: various cleanups and improvements

I had a bunch of random little fixes and cleanups around and
was prompted to put them together and make a change to call
RTAS with MSR[RI] enabled because of a report of the hard
lockup watchdog NMI IPI hitting in an rtas call which then
crashed because it's unrecoverable.

Could possibly move patch 9 earlier if it would help with
backporting.

Thanks,
Nick
