Hi Linus !
Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.
The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the result

Here are the remaining bits I was mentioning earlier. Mostly bug fixes

Hi Linus !
So here's my next branch for powerpc. A bit late as I was on vacation
last week. It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I just
added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for powerpc,
which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and is trivial.
