Merge branch 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are a few things for -rc2, this time it's all written by me so it
  can only be perfect .... right ? :)

  So we have the fix to call irq_enter/exit on the irq stack we've been
  discussing, plus a cleanup on top to remove an unused (and broken)
  stack limit tracking feature (well, make it 32-bit only in fact where
  it is used and works properly).

  Then we have two things that I wrote over the last couple of days and
  made the executive decision to include just because I can (and I'm
  sure you won't object .... right ?).

  They fix a couple of annoying and long standing "issues":

   - We had separate zImages for when booting via Open Firmware vs.
     booting via a flat device-tree, while it's trivial to make one that
     deals with both

   - We wasted a ton of cycles spinning secondary CPUs uselessly at boot
     instead of starting them when needed on pseries, thus contributing
     significantly to global warming"

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
  powerpc/pseries: Do not start secondaries in Open Firmware
  powerpc/zImage: make the "OF" wrapper support ePAPR boot
  powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64
  powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack
