Linus Torvalds 192f0f8e9d powerpc updates for 5.3
Notable changes:
 
  - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver, as well
    as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't (yet?) made it
    upstream.
 
  - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf record -e
    mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and kernel crashes.
 
  - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for vmalloc
    when using the Radix MMU.
 
  - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to use gas
    macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.
 
 And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.
