Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Notable highlights:

   - iommu improvements from Anton removing the per-iommu global lock in
     favor of dividing the DMA space into pools, each with its own lock,
     and hashed on the CPU number.  Along with making the locking more
     fine grained, this gives significant improvements in multiqueue
     networking scalability.

   - Still from Anton, we know provide a vdso based variant of getcpu
     which makes sched_getcpu with the appropriate glibc patch something
     like 18 times faster.

   - More anton goodness (he's been busy !) in other areas such as a
     faster __clear_user and copy_page on P7, various perf fixes to
     improve sampling quality, etc...

   - One more step toward removing legacy i2c interfaces by using new
     device-tree based probing of platform devices for the AOA audio
     drivers

   - A nice series of patches from Michael Neuling that helps avoiding
     confusion between register numbers and litterals in assembly code,
     trying to enforce the use of "%rN" register names in gas rather
     than plain numbers.

   - A pile of FSL updates

   - The usual bunch of small fixes, cleanups etc...

  You may spot a change to drivers/char/mem.  The patch got no comment
  or ack from outside, it's a trivial patch to allow the architecture to
  skip creating /dev/port, which we use to disable it on ppc64 that
  don't have a legacy brige.  On those, IO ports 0...64K are not mapped
  in kernel space at all, so accesses to /dev/port cause oopses (and
  yes, distros -still- ship userspace that bangs hard coded ports such
  as kbdrate)."
