Next time, put a little blurb at the head of the pull request giving a
rough highlight, like I do when I send a pull request to Linus.

Thanks !

Cheers,

Oh, sorry -- forgot.

Highlights include:
 - Setting compilation flags properly for the chosen e500 target --
among other things, on 64-bit e500 builds this will prevent the
assembler from replacing lwsync with sync, which caused a significant
slowdown on certain workloads.
 - e6500 perf support
 - MPIC MSI support for t4240/b4860-era chips
 - p1020rdb-pd board support

Also, I think we should pull a few of the commits in here out and submit for 3.11

     powerpc/msi: Fix compile error on mpc83xx

This is poorly worded -- there is no compilation error unless you apply
a subsequent patch without this one.  A better subject would have been
"powerpc/mpic: allow fsl_mpic_primary_get_version without CONFIG_MPIC".

     powerpc/fsl_msi: fix error return code in fsl_of_msi_probe()

This one doesn't seem that critical...

     powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e check link issue

I agree on this one.
