Merge tag 'powerpc-4.11-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Support for direct mapped LPC on POWER9, giving Linux direct access
     to devices that may be on there such as a UART.

   - Memory hotplug support for the Power9 Radix MMU.

   - Add new AUX vectors describing the processor's cache geometry, to
     be used by glibc.

   - The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's
     hash table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when
     memory is hotplugged into/out-of the guest. This allows the hash
     table to be sized based on the current memory usage of the guest,
     rather than the maximum possible memory usage.

   - Implementation of optprobes (kprobe optimisation) for powerpc.

  In addition there's the topic branch shared with the KVM tree, which
  includes support for guests to use the Radix MMU on Power9.
