Merge tag 'powerpc-4.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

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.

  Thanks to: Aaro Koskinen, Alexandre Belloni, Alexey Kardashevskiy,
  Alistair Popple, Andy Shevchen...
