This will break after
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2015-October/135298.html


A good option is to drop this patch from the series and let Andrew take
the first two patches. You can send an updated version of patch 3 against
linux-powerpc tree once Michael pulls that series to his tree.
