powerpc/vphn: NUMA node code expects big-endian
It was discussed at the time that we should
The first argument to vphn_unpack_associativity() is a const long *, but the
parsing code expects __be64 values actually. This is inconsistent. We should
either pass a const __be64 * or change vphn_unpack_associativity() so that
it fixes endianness by itself.
This patch does the latter, since the

Hi Andrew,
This is essentially a resend of my patch set from October with the exception
of folding the last two patches of that series into the final patch here.
The patches here have been in review since first posted in August, and have
been acked by one or two kexec developers. Could you
Define new kexec preprocessor macros IND_*_BIT that define the bit position of
the kimage entry flags. Change the existing IND_* flag macros to be defined as
bit shifts of the corresponding IND_*_BIT macros. Also wrap all C language code
in kexec.h with #if !defined(__ASSEMBLY__) so assembly
Simplify the code around one of the conditionals in the kexec_load
syscall routine.
The original code was confusing with a redundant check on KEXEC_ON_CRASH
and comments outside of the conditional block. This change switches the
order of the conditional check, and cleans up the comments for the

If we wanted to be on the safe side and strict (since we are not sure that the
hardware is 100% compatible), we maybe should add a fsl,qoriq-i2c compatible
to
the driver that does the same as mpc8543-i2c.
Or you leave the driver as is and use both compatibles:
compatible = fsl,qoriq-i2c,

Hi,
I am basically fine if this goes via the powerpc-tree and I was hoping
that I could ack it right now. However, the driver looks a bit rushed
and definately needs updates before it is ready to go.
