Linus,

I have added another commit to the powerpc.git merge branch, so when
you do:

git pull \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git merge

you'll get a fix for a bug where the hardware data breakpoint would
sometimes fail to trigger on powerpc, if multiple threads put a
breakpoint on the same address. The bug has been around for a while
and Michael Ellerman just found the cause and posted a fix.

Hello Paul,

What about http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=17525 ? I don't
see it in the merge branch of your repository, and it would be nice to
get it upstream as it fixes boot problems on some MPC5200-based boards.

Regards,
Bartlomiej
