Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - disable the 32-bit vdso when building LE, so we can build with a
   64-bit only toolchain.

 - EEH fixes from Gavin &amp; Richard.

 - enable the sys_kcmp syscall from Laurent.

 - sysfs control for fastsleep workaround from Shreyas.

 - expose OPAL events as an irq chip by Alistair.

   optimizations, an e6500 hugetlb optimization, QMan device tree nodes,
   t1024/t1023 support, and various fixes and cleanup.

enable_kernel_altivec() has to be called with disabled preemption.
Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not
touching preemption anymore.

<title>powerpc: Replace mem_init_done with slab_is_available()</title>

<id>f691fa1080c37c48da0cdfeae082c3bef5df2643</id>
<content type='text'>
We have a powerpc specific global called mem_init_done which is "set on
boot once kmalloc can be called".

But that's not *quite* true. We set it at the bottom of mem_init(), and
rely on the fact that mm_init() calls kmem_cache_init() immediately
after that, and nothing is running in parallel.

So replace it with the generic and 100% correct slab_is_available().

Export __spin_yield so that the arch_spin_unlock() function can
be invoked from a module. This will be required for modules where
we want to take a lock that is also is acquired in hypervisor
real mode. Because we want to avoid running any lockdep code
(which may not be safe in real mode), this lock needs to be
an arch_spinlock_t instead of a normal spinlock.

These functions are only used from one place each.  If the cacheable_*
versions really are more efficient, then those changes should be
migrated into the common code instead.

NOTE: The old routines are just flat buggy on kernels that support
      hardware with different cacheline sizes.

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns
immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

As our various loops (copy, string, crypto etc) get more complicated,
we want to share implementations between userspace (eg glibc) and
the kernel. We also want to write userspace test harnesses to put
in tools/testing/selftest.

One gratuitous difference between userspace and the kernel is the
VSX register definitions - the kernel uses vsrX whereas gcc uses
vsX.

Change the kernel to match userspace.
