Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"Here are the powerpc goodies for 3.5. Main highlights are:
- Support for the NX crypto engine in Power7+
- A bunch of Anton goodness, including some micro optimization of our
syscall entry on Power7
- I converted a pile of our thermal control drivers to the new i2c
APIs (essentially turning the old therm_pm72 into a proper set of
windfarm drivers). That's one more step toward removing the
deprecated i2c APIs, there's still a few drivers to fix, but we are
getting close
- kexec/kdump support for 47x embedded cores
The big missing thing here is no updates from Freescale. Not sure
what's up here, but with Kumar not working for them anymore things are
a bit in a state of flux in that area."

This adds an update notifier mechanism for changes to properties in the
device tree. One use of this would be a device driver that needs to act
on changes to it's properties in the device tree after a live migration
or a dynamic activation that is triggered by updates to ofdt properties.

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

When we get an EEH error we just print a backtrace with dump_stack
which is rather cryptic. We really should print something before
spewing out the backtrace.
Also switch from dump_stack to WARN so we get more information about
the fail - what modules were loaded, what process was running etc.
This was useful information when debugging a recent EEH subsystem bug.
The standard WARN output should also get picked up by monitoring
tools like kerneloops.
The register dump is of questionable value here but I figured it was
better to use something standard and not roll my own.

Remove CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY, the option is badly named and only does two
things:
- It wraps the MMU segment table code. With feature fixups there is
little downside to compiling this in.
- It uses the newer mtocrf instruction in various assembly functions.
Instead of making this a compile option just do it at runtime via
a feature fixup.

This causes i2c-powermac to register i2c devices exposed in the
device-tree, enabling new-style probing of devices.
Note that we prefix the IDs with "MAC," in order to prevent the
generic drivers from matching. This is done on purpose as we only
want drivers specifically tested/designed to operate on powermacs
to match.
This removes the special case we had for the AMS driver, and updates
the driver's match table instead.

Recently, Ryan Wang tried to compile PPC pSeries platform without
CONFIG_EEH and eventually run into errors. Nishanth Aravamudan
helped to narrow down the root cause. Actually, the pSeries platform
depends on CONFIG_EEH heavily and that won't work properly without
EEH support.
According to Ben's suggestion, the patch make CONFIG_EEH invisible
and keep it as always selected on pSeries platform.

The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq
number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc
interrupt code. Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to
determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated. However,
with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq
number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger
than NR_IRQS. This has caused breakage on powermac when
CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32.
This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the
powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by
using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro. The powerpc-specific
for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time.
Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global
build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the
maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().

Use any preallocated highmem region setup by the bootloader.
This implementation only checks for the existance of a single
region at region_index=0.
This feature allows the bootloader to preallocate highmem
regions and pass the region locations to the kernel through
the repository. Preallocated regions can be used to hold the
initrd or other large data. If no region info exists, the
kernel retains the old behavior and attempts to allocate the
highmem region itself.
Based on Hector Martin's patch "Get lv1 high memory region from
devtree".

If the interrupt and the timeout happen roughly at the same
time, we can get into a situation where the timer function
is run while the interrupt has already been processed. In
this case, the timer function might end up doing an add_timer
on an already pending timer, causing a BUG_ON() to trigger.
Instead, just skip the whole timeout operation if we see that
the timer is pending. The spinlock ensures that the only way
that happens is if we already started a new operation and thus
the timeout can be ignored.

The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error
happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device
driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully
reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility
"errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet
MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on
the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually,
I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v"
command.
The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the
reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed
from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the
PCI device will be probed again and added into the system
accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from
the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed
and not added again.
The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node
instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.
