    Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
     "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
      bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
      arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
      rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
      maintain and that nobody really used anymore.
    
      Here are some of the highlights:
    
       - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
         and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
         they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
         hopefully.
    
       - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
         previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
         mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
         new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks
         Mahesh Salgaonkar.
    
       - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
         spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
         new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.
    
         The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
         there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
         not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
         that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
         before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
         getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
         Shan.
    
       - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
         way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
         "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
         a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
         fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.
    
       - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
         of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."
    
    I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
    Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.
