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.

  Thanks to:
    Alistair Popple, Andrew Do...
