Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
  KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
  think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.

  Non-highlights:

   - Five fixes for the &gt;128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
     in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
     with x86.

  Highlights:

   - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
     true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.

   - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.

   - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
     can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.

   - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
     to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.

   - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
     some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).

   - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
     some Power9 revisions.

   - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
     CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.

   - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
     for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
     to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.

   - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
     using transactional memory.

   - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
     Power9.

   - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
     Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
     handles requests.

   - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

On PowerNV platforms, firmware provides exit latency and
target residency for each of the idle states in nano
seconds.  Cpuidle framework expects the values in micro
seconds.  Round up to nearest micro seconds to avoid errors
in cases where the values are defined as fractional micro
seconds.

Default idle state of 'snooze' has exit latency of zero.  If
other states have fractional micro second exit latency, they
would get rounded down to zero micro second and make cpuidle
framework choose deeper idle state when snooze loop is the
right choice.

Individual CPUs may have special requirements to not enter
deep idle states. For example, a CPU running real time
applications would not want to enter deep idle states to
avoid latency impacts. At the same time other CPUs that
do not have such a requirement could allow deep idle
states to save power.

This was already implemented in the menu governor.
Implementing similar changes in the ladder governor which
gets selected when CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE are not
set. Refer following commits for the menu governor changes.

<id>0759e80b84e34a84e7e46e2b1adb528c83d84a47</id>
<content type='text'>
The special value of 0 for device resume latency PM QoS means
"no restriction", but there are two problems with that.

First, device resume latency PM QoS requests with 0 as the
value are always put in front of requests with positive
values in the priority lists used internally by the PM QoS
framework, causing 0 to be chosen as an effective constraint
value.  However, that 0 is then interpreted as "no restriction"
effectively overriding the other requests with specific
restrictions which is incorrect.

Second, the users of device resume latency PM QoS have no
way to specify that *any* resume latency at all should be
avoided, which is an artificial limitation in general.

To address these issues, modify device resume latency PM QoS to
use S32_MAX as the "no constraint" value and 0 as the "no
latency at all" one and rework its users (the cpuidle menu
governor, the genpd QoS governor and the runtime PM framework)
to follow these changes.

Also add a special "n/a" value to the corresponding user space I/F
to allow user space to indicate that it cannot accept any resume
latencies at all for the given device.

MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such
many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch
updates the addresses for those who:

 - Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com
   email address, or any patches dated within the past year.

 - Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business
   unit, as determined from an internal email address list.

 - Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed
   a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej).

 - Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt &amp;
   myself.

New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all
verified against an internal email address list.  An entry is added to
.mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new
addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead.

Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then
mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.
