Merge branch 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc fix from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here's one regression fix for 3.13 that I would appreciate if you
could still pull in. It was an "interesting" one to debug, basically
it's an old bug that got somewhat "exposed" by new code breaking the
boot on PA Semi boards (yes, it does appear that some people are still
using these!)"
