Here's a few patches I've had in my tree for too long. There's a couple of easy merge patches, and then some cleanups/fixups we'll need for kexec/kdump soonish. Booted on pSeries LPAR and iSeries with ARCH=powerpc. Built for pSeries and iSeries with ARCH=ppc64, and built for PPC32 common_defconfig + CONFIG_KEXEC. cheers
