    Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
     "Notable changes:
    
       - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
         as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
         (yet?) made it upstream.
    
       - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
         record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
         kernel crashes.
    
       - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
         vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.
    
       - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
         use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.
    
      And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.
    
      Thanks to: Alastair D'Silva, Alexey Kardashevskiy, Andreas Schwab,
