[PATCH 00/17] powerpc/ftrace: refactor and add support for -fpatchable-function-entry

[Naveen N Rao]

Since RFC (*):
- Patches 1 and 17 have been included in this series due to 
  dependencies. Both had been posted out separately.
- Patch 10 has a small change to not throw errors when checking 
  instruction sequence generated by older toolchains.

This has had more testing since and this looks good to me. Christophe 
mentioned that this results in a slowdown with ftrace [de-]activation on 
ppc32, but that isn't performance critical and we can address that 
separately.
