    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
     "Highlights include:
    
       - Support for direct mapped LPC on POWER9, giving Linux direct access
         to devices that may be on there such as a UART.
    
       - Memory hotplug support for the Power9 Radix MMU.
    
       - Add new AUX vectors describing the processor's cache geometry, to
         be used by glibc.
    
       - The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's
         hash table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when
         memory is hotplugged into/out-of the guest. This allows the hash
         table to be sized based on the current memory usage of the guest,
         rather than the maximum possible memory usage.
    
       - Implementation of optprobes (kprobe optimisation) for powerpc.
    
      In addition there's the topic branch shared with the KVM tree, which
      includes support for guests to use the Radix MMU on Power9.
