e3854b6e25 arch/powerpc/sysdev/ehv_pic.c: add missing kfree
At this point, ehv_pic has been allocated but not stored anywhere, so it
should be freed before leaving the function.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S,S1;
expression E;
identifier fl;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
     when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> }
     when any
     when != true x == NULL
x->fl

if (...) { ... when != x
               when forall
(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);

* return ...;
)
}
)
// </smpl>

3a93261f70 powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor vmpic driver
The Freescale ePAPR reference hypervisor provides interrupt controller
services via a hypercall interface, instead of emulating the MPIC
controller.  This is called the VMPIC.

The ePAPR "virtual interrupt controller" provides interrupt controller
services for external interrupts.  External interrupts received by a
partition can come from two sources:

  - Hardware interrupts - hardware interrupts come from external
    interrupt lines or on-chip I/O devices.
  - Virtual interrupts - virtual interrupts are generated by the hypervisor
    as part of some hypervisor service or hypervisor-created virtual device.

Both types of interrupts are processed using the same programming model and
same set of hypercalls.
