Merge tag 'powerpc-5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
   accelerator on Power9.

 - Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
   make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
   relying on an IPI for serialisation.

 - A series of fixes & enhancements to make our machine check handling
   more robust.

 - Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
   on Power10.

 - Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).

 - Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
   driver.

 - Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.

 - Initial support for booting on Power10.

 - Lots of other small features, cleanups & fixes.
