Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
12 kernel patches have been identified as needed to support Nvidia Volta
on bare metal. All are accepted upstream in 4.17. Three of those are
already in bionic, leaving a total of 9 remaining commits needed in bionic.
This pull request is for those other 9 commits.
== Regression Potential ==
All of the commits are specific to powerpc.
== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by IBM.

fb5924fddf9e powerpc/mm: Flush cache on memory hot(un)plug
7fd6641de28f powerpc/powernv/memtrace: Let the arch hotunplug code flush
cache

context init/destroy
a1409adac748 powerpc/powernv/npu: Prevent overwriting of
pnv_npu2_init_contex() callback parameters

We cherry-picked the commits, and all applied cleanly. The resultant
kernel built successfully and loaded.
