Subject: [git pull] Please pull powerpc.git merge branch

Hi Linus !

Some more powerpc bits for you.

One is actually a change from Anton to the generic kexec to make a
function weak so powerpc can override it.

It has been around for ever, there were initial objections I think
mostly due to a misunderstanding of the problem.

Since then, it's been a deafening silence to our responses/expanations
and no answers from Eric so I think it should go in as the powerpc
counterpart that implements our version of that weak function is already
(and has been for a while as d72e063bb32c06c6c1cec14f6857b7c37ba62d7a)
and it fixes a real nasty bug.

The rest is a series of fixes to our CPU hotplug code that I've been
sitting on for a little while (by myself) and was originally thinking
about putting in for the next release.

I eventually changed my mind, there is no point in sitting on them any
longer since they fix some real issues on some machines (such as G5's
crashing on re-plug) and brings us in line with what other archs do for
setting up and re-initializing the idle threads.

Cheers,
Ben.
