Merge branch 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull power fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here are a couple of powerpc fixes for 3.14.
One is (another!) nasty TM problem, we can crash the kernel by forking
inside a transaction. The other one is a simple fix for an alignment
issue which can hurt in LE mode"
* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc: Align p_dyn, p_rela and p_st symbols
powerpc/tm: Fix crash when forking inside a transaction
