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
