ppc patch queue for 2016-06-14

Latest patch queue for ppc.
    * Allow qemu to support a generic architecture 2.07 (POWER8-era)
      compatibility mode.  This is useful for guests which are POWER8
      aware, but don't know about the specific POWER8 variant that
      qemu (and/or KVM) is emulating. (Thomas Huth)
    * Fix a bug where macio wasn't removing DMA mappings (Mark Cave-Ayland)
    * Add a workaround for Linux guest's miscalculation of maximum
      memory address (including hotplugged memory), which could break
      when hotplug memory was combined with VFIO.  The previous
      approach was technically correct by spec, but differed from
      PowerVM's behaviour enough to trip a guest kernel bug.  This
      works around the bug, while remaining correct-to-spec. (Bharata Rao)
