Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc architecture fixes for v6.7-rc1

Hi Linus,

please pull three small additional parisc fixes for kernel 6.7-rc2,
two of those are tagged for stable series.

On parisc we still sometimes need writeable stacks, e.g. if programs aren't
compiled with gcc-14. To avoid issues with the upcoming systemd-254 we
therefore have to disable prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) for now (for parisc only).

The other two patches are minor: a bugfix for the soft power-off on qemu
with 64-bit kernel and a patch from Kees to prefer strscpy() over strlcpy().

Thanks!
Helge
