Hi Linus !

Here are 3 bug fixes that should probably go into 3.11 since I'm also
tagging them for stable.

Once fixes our old /proc/powerpc/lparcfg file which provides partition
informations when running under our hypervisor and also acts as a
user-triggerable Oops when hot :-(

The other two respectively are a one liner to fix a HVSI protocol
handshake problem causing the console to fail to show up on a bunch of
machines until we reach userspace, which I deem annoying enough to
warrant going to stable, and a nasty gcc miscompile causing us to
pass virtual instead of physical addresses to the firmware under some
circumstances.

Cheers,
Ben.
