+Subject: [PATCH 09/11] usb/xhci: allow xhci_check_bandwith in
+ XHCI_STATE_REMOVING
+
+Change 98d74f9ce (and backported as 0eb1e16bf9) introduced
+XHCI_STATE_REMOVING, where PCI XHCI HCDs are flagged as removing dring
+pci->remove. This included a check in xhci_check_bandwith to supress any
+configuration changes while the hcd is in this state.
+
+However, it looks like some controllers hang during halt if we haven't
+set configration 0 (via usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth()).
+
+This change allows the configuration 0 update while removing.
+
+[This may be specific to our XHCI hacks for kexec...]
+
+From Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@linux.vnet.ibm.com>:
+
+ > What concerned me about 0004-xhci-do-not-halt-the-secondary-HCD.patch
+ > was that I'd still see eventual halt failures , though they seemed to
+ > occur on the shutdown hook, instead of the distro probe path. But since
+ > the probe goes ok, the bind continues and the device doesn't disappear.
+ > With JK's patch applied, I ran a bind-unbind stress test and couldn't
+ > reproduce the halt failure anymore. further probe and enumeration seems
+ > to work ok.
+ >
+ > I don't understand why the change fixes the hang but as JK said, it may
+ > be a particularity of this TI device not handling halts correctly . I
+ > don't think it will be accepted upstream as is, though, so we might want
+ > to make it a hardware quirk for this specific device if we confirm the
+ > TI device requires it for proper halting.
+ >
+ > Other than that, i think it's safe to make the change, and I don't think
+ > xhci spec forbids reconfiguration prior to halt.
+ >
+ > In short, this seems to work but I don't fully understand why. It
+ > doesn't seem harmful and if it fixes the issue, we can make it a quirk.

+Subject: [PATCH 10/11] powerpc/boot: Request no dynamic linker for boot
+ wrapper
+
+The boot wrapper performs its own relocations and does not require
+PT_INTERP segment. However currently we don't tell the linker that.
+
+Prior to binutils 2.28 that works OK. But since binutils commit
+1a9ccd70f9a7 ("Fix the linker so that it will not silently generate ELF
+binaries with invalid program headers. Fix readelf to report such
+invalid binaries.") binutils tries to create a program header segment
+due to PT_INTERP, and the link fails because there is no space for it:
+
+  ld: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
+  ld: final link failed: Bad value
+
+So tell the linker not to do that, by passing --no-dynamic-linker.
