Merge tag 'powerpc-4.13-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Highlights include:
- Support for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on 64-bit server CPUs.
- Platform support for FSP2 (476fpe) board
- Enable ZONE_DEVICE on 64-bit server CPUs.
- Generic & powerpc spin loop primitives to optimise busy waiting
- Convert VDSO update function to use new update_vsyscall() interface
- Optimisations to hypercall/syscall/context-switch paths
- Improvements to the CPU idle code on Power8 and Power9.
As well as many other fixes and improvements.
