Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (powerpc
 tree related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:958: Error: attempt to move .org backwards

Caused by commit 1e9b4507ed98 ("powerpc/book3s: handle machine check in
Linux host").

I have reverted these commits (possibly some of these reverts are
unnecessary):
