We get way too many bug reports that say "the kernel is hung in
prom_init", which stems from the fact that the last piece of output
people see is "returning from prom_init".
The kernel is almost never hung in prom_init(), it's just that it's
crashed somewhere after prom_init() but prior to the con

For THP that is marked trans splitting, we return the pte.
This require the callers to handle the pmd_trans_splitting scenario,
if they care. All the current callers are either looking at pfn or
write_ok, hence we don't need to update them.

We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq.
We do send IPI to all the cpus in the early part of split/collapse,
and disabling local irq ensure we don't make progress with
split/collapse. If the THP is getting split we return NULL from
find_linux_pte_or_hugepte(). For all the
pte can get updated from other CPUs as part of multiple activities
like THP split, huge page collapse, unmap. We need to make sure we
don't reload the pte value again and again for different checks.

This patch remove helpers which we had used only once in the code.
Limiting page table walk variants help in ensuring that we won't
end up with code walking page table with wrong assumptions.

This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active
transactions when a syscall is made and return immediately without
performing the syscall.
Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an
active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active
transact
Check that a syscall made during an active transaction will fail with
the correct failure code and that one made during a suspended
transaction will succeed.

Further testing has shown that the success or failure of the transactions was
affected by minor changes
We have a powerpc specific global called mem_init_done which is "set on
boot once kmalloc can be called".
But that's not *quite* true. We set it at the bottom of mem_init(), and
rely on the fact that mm_init() calls kmem_cache_init() immediately
after that, and nothing is running in parallel.
So
Use orderly_reboot so userspace will to shut itself down via the reboot
path. This is required for graceful reboot initiated by the BMC, such
as when a user uses ipmitool to issue a 'chassis power cycle' command.

The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a
graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds
orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling
/sbin/reboot.
This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on
platfo
