      [PATCH] sound/ppc: snd_pmac_toonie_init should be __init · d882995c
      Andreas Schwab authored
      snd_pmac_toonie_init is only called by __init code and calls __init code
      itself.

      powerpc/pseries: Tell firmware our capabilities on new machines · f709bfac
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This adds code to call a new firmware method to tell the firmware
      what machines and capabilities (such as VMX/Altivec) we support.
      This will be needed on POWER5+ and POWER6 machines, and it has no
      effect on past and current machines.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages · f10a04c0
      David Gibson authored
      At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
      pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
      PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
      hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
      allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
      the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
      (also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.
      
      The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
      hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
      different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
      128 bytes necessary.
