This patch reverts commit 407d418f2fd4 ("powerpc/chrp: Move PHB
discovery") and commit 9634afa67bfd ("powerpc/chrp: Make hydra_init()
static").

Running the upstream kernel on Qemu's brand new "pegasos2" emulation
results in a variety of backtraces such as

Kernel attempted to write user page (a1) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
------------[ cut here ]------------
Bug: Write fault blocked by KUAP!

and the system fails to boot. Bisect points to commit 407d418f2fd4
("powerpc/chrp: Move PHB discovery"). Reverting this patch together with
commit 9634afa67bfd ("powerpc/chrp: Make hydra_init() static") fixes
the problem.

Isn't there more than that in the backtrace ? If there is a fault blocked by Kuap, it means there is a fault. It should be visible in the traces.

Should we fix the problem instead of reverting the commit that made the problem visible ?
