Since RFC (*): - Patches 1 and 17 have been included in this series due to dependencies. Both had been posted out separately. - Patch 10 has a small change to not throw errors when checking instruction sequence generated by older toolchains.
This has had more testing since and this looks good to me. Christophe mentioned that this results in a slowdown with ftrace [de-]activation on ppc32, but that isn't performance critical and we can address that separately.
