Please pull powerpc.git 'merge' branch

Linus,

Please do:

git pull \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git merge

or, if the mirroring hasn't caught up:

git pull \
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git merge

There are 3 small bugfixes (one- or two-liners, including Ben's fix
for sys_pciconfig_iobase in case you didn't pick it up directly), plus
a change to arch/powerpc/Kconfig to make it clear that the PS3 support
is still incomplete.

Thanks,
Paul.

    [POWERPC] Fix sys_pciconfig_iobase bus matching
    
    A stupid bug has been plaguing the sys_pciconfig_iobase on ppc64. It wasn't
    noticed until recently as it seems to not affect G5s but it's been causing
    problems running X servers on some other machines recently. The bus number
    matching was bogus.

Linus,

I meant to add, in the pull request I just sent, that we are looking
into the known unfixed regression listed by Adrian Bunk with the
subject "powerpc64: performance monitor exception".  The problem is
that I am not convinced the proposed patch is safe, and in fact I
think it introduces a potential deadlock on Cell at least, but we
haven't worked out an alternative solution yet.  I hope to have a good
solution within the next couple of days.

Paul.
