Build results:
	total: 172 pass: 170 fail: 2
Failed builds: 
	powerpc:defconfig 
	powerpc:ppc6xx_defconfig
Qemu test results:
	total: 315 pass: 315 fail: 0

Same build error as with v4.4.y, plus:

arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c: In function ‘dlpar_memory’:
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c:782:9: error:
	‘rc’ may be used uninitialized in this function

which I completely fail to understand. It doesn't seeem to affect
any other kernel version, and it looks like it is another compiler bug.
I'll see if I can find out how to avoid it (other than reverting
to an older version of gcc). Not a concern for now.
