Most of the power processor generation performance monitoring
unit (PMU) driver code is bundled in the kernel and one of those
is enabled/registered based on the oprofile_cpu_type check at
the boot.
But things get little tricky incase of "compat" mode boot.

Currenty pmu driver file for each ppc64 generation processor
has a __init call in itself. Refactor the code by moving the
__init call to core-books.c. This also clean's up compat mode

NAK. I don't want to do this, because pmd_is_leaf() is purely about

Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation
speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code.
Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save
the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected
idle instructions, and restoring the stack
This is the KVM update to the new idle code. A few improvements:
- Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out
to KVM first.
- This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no
state has been lost.
- KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it
The KVM code is in better shape now, survives various testing I came
up with, so should be ready for more review.
I won't post it again with the KVM part split out unless significant
changes are required there. As explained in the comments for patch 1,
the split results in some intermediate KVM

Hi Linus,
Please pull some more powerpc fixes for 5.1.
I was 50/50 on whether these were worthy of sending at rc6, but decided I would
send them as they're in obscure areas of the code and they do fix user-visible
bugs.
cheers

No worries, there's no rush :)
Sorry I missed
