Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

hcall_vphn() is specific to pseries and will be used in a subsequent
patch. So, move it to a more appropriate place under
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries. Also merge vphn.h into lppaca.h
and update vphn selftest to use the new files.

In some cases, compiler can allocate the same register for operand 'res'
and 'vecoutptr', resulting in segfault at 'stxvd2x 40,0,%[vecoutptr]'
because base register will contain 1, yielding a false-positive.

This is because output 'res' must be marked as an earlyclobber operand so
it may not overlap an input operand ('vecoutptr').

This merges a fix for a bug in our context id handling on 64-bit hash
CPUs.

The fix was written against v5.1 to ease backporting to stable
releases. Here we are merging it up to a v5.2-rc2 base, which involves
a bit of manual resolution.

It also adds a test case for the bug.

This tests that when a process with a mapping above 512TB forks we
correctly separate the parent and child address spaces. This exercises
the bug in the context id handling fixed in the previous commit.
