First, number of CPUs can't be negative number.
Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:
1)
kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));
"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of
full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing
of the full path string for each node.

The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.
POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.
Conflicts:
arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu_setup_power.S [cherry-picked fix]
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_xive.c [include asm/debugfs.h]
This patch makes KVM capable of using the XIVE interrupt controller
to provide the standard PAPR "XICS" style hypercalls. It is necessary
for proper operations when the host uses XIVE natively.
This has been lightly tested on an actual system, including PCI
pass-through with a TG3 device.

Dan Carpenter noticed that the code in __xive_native_disable_queue() has a for
loop with an unconditional break in the middle, which doesn't make a lot of
sense.
What the code's supposed to do is loop as long as OPAL says it's busy, if we get
any other return code, either success or failure, then we should break the loop.
So add the missing check.

The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
among other things.
Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
"XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.
This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.
This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.
A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
recovering the lost performance (and more).
