Pull two powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here's a pair of powerpc fixes for 3.15 which are also going to stable. One's a fix for building with newer binutils (the problem currently only affects the BookE kernels but the affected macro might come back into use on BookS platforms at any time). Unfortunately, the binutils maintainer did a backward incompatible change to a construct that we use so we have to add Makefile check. The other one is a fix for CPUs getting stuck in kexec when running single threaded. Since we routinely use kexec on power (including in our newer bootloaders), I deemed that important enough" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc, kexec: Fix "Processor X is stuck" issue during kexec from ST mode powerpc: Fix 64 bit builds with binutils 2.24

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
of memory corruption.
For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
