[PATCH 0/11] powerpc: Merges and fixups

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.

I've renamed the instruction functions to create_foo(), which I think I like a
little better than make_foo().

I've also added a comment about function descriptors on PPC64 as Olof
suggested. And added an enum for readability. Not to mention fixing the logic
bug that was lurking in create_branch(), oops.

I've merged page.h, hopefully I haven't broken too many things. It can probably
use some further cleanup, but we'll leave that for a little while.

is_kernel_addr() is now defined in the merged page.h, so it should work on
PPC32 also.

Booted on pSeries LPAR and iSeries with ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64.

This *seems* to build ok on the current merge-tree for PPC32, although there's
other broken stuff getting in the way.

On top of 3a5f8c5f788d68e325d9fe3c26f4df5a5aee838a I can build it for ppc,
and it looks ok (but fails elsewhere) for 32-bit powerpc.

cheers
