Applied to ppc-for-2.8, thanks.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ppc: restrict the use of the rfi instruction

[Cédric Le Goater]

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt 

Power ISA 2.x has deleted the rfi instruction and rfid shoud be used
instead on cpus following this instruction set or later.

This will raise an invalid exception when rfi is used on such
processors: Book3S 64-bit processors.

  rfid when running under a CPU from the 970 family.'), is now
  merged in qemu under commit 5cebd885d0d2 ('Update OpenBIOS
  images to b747b6a built from submodule.') ]
