Please add powerpc topic/kdump-hotplug branch to linux-next

Hi Stephen, Can you please add the topic/kdump-hotplug branch of the powerpc tree to linux-next. It contains a series that touches generic kexec code as well as x86 and powerpc code. The hope is to have to get it merged for v6.10, so it should go along with the powerpc next branch in the merge
