    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
     "Notable changes:
    
       - Support for 4PB user address space on 64-bit, opt-in via mmap().
    
       - Removal of POWER4 support, which was accidentally broken in 2016
         and no one noticed, and blocked use of some modern instructions.
    
       - Workarounds so that the hypervisor can enable Transactional Memory
         on Power9.
    
       - A series to disable the DAWR (Data Address Watchpoint Register) on
         Power9.
    
       - More information displayed in the meltdown/spectre_v1/v2 sysfs
         files.
    
       - A vpermxor (Power8 Altivec) implementation for the raid6 Q
         Syndrome.
    
       - A big series to make the allocation of our pacas (per cpu area),
         kernel page tables, and per-cpu stacks NUMA aware when using the
         Radix MMU on Power9.
    
      And as usual many fixes, reworks and cleanups.
