Linus Torvalds 7794b1d418 powerpc updates for 5.5
Highlights:
 
  - Infrastructure for secure boot on some bare metal Power9 machines. The
    firmware support is still in development, so the code here won't actually
    activate secure boot on any existing systems.
 
  - A change to xmon (our crash handler / pseudo-debugger) to restrict it to
    read-only mode when the kernel is lockdown'ed, otherwise it's trivial to drop
    into xmon and modify kernel data, such as the lockdown state.
 
  - Support for KASLR on 32-bit BookE machines (Freescale / NXP).
 
  - Fixes for our flush_icache_range() and __kernel_sync_dicache() (VDSO) to work
    with memory ranges >4GB.
 
  - Some reworks of the pseries CMM (Cooperative Memory Management) driver to
    make it behave more like other balloon drivers and enable some cleanups of
    generic mm code.
 
  - A series of fixes to our hardware breakpoint support to properly handle
    unaligned watchpoint addresses.
 
 Plus a bunch of other smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups.
