Expand root=PARTUUID=UUID syntax to support selecting a root partition by
integer offset from a known, unique partition. This approach provides
similar properties to specifying a device and partition number, but using
the UUID as the unique path prior to evaluating the offset.
For example,
root=PARTUUID=99DE9194-FC15-4223-9192-FC243948F88B/PARTNROFF=1
selects the partition with UUID 99DE.. then select the next
partition.
This change is motivated by a particular usecase in Chromium OS where the
bootloader can easily determine what partition it is on (by UUID) but
doesn't perform general partition table walking.
That said, support for this model provides a direct mechanism for the user
to modify the root partition to boot without specifically needing to
extract each UUID or update the bootloader explicitly when the root
partition UUID is changed (if it is recreated to be larger, for instance).
Pinning to a /boot-style partition UUID allows the arbitrary root
partition reconfiguration/modifications with slightly less ambiguity than
just [dev][partition] and less stringency than the specific root partition
UUID.

hwmon: Avoid building drivers for powerpc that read/write ISA addresses
A modprobe of hwmon drivers that read/write ISA addresses on a powerpc results
in a kernel Oops. These reads/writes are being done via the inb()/in_8() and
outb()/out_8() macros.
Prevent these drivers from being built for powerpc.

Btrfs: fix 64 bit divide problem
This fixes a regression introduced by commit cdcb725c05fe ("Btrfs: check
if there is enough space for balancing smarter"). We can't do 64-bit
divides on 32-bit architectures.
In cases where we need to divide/multiply by 2 we should just left/right
shift respectively, and in cases where theres N number of devices use
do_div. Also make the counters u64 to match up with rw_devices.
Thanks,

regmap: Allow drivers to specify register defaults
It is useful for the register cache code to be able to specify the
default values for the device registers. The major use is when restoring
the register cache after suspend, knowing the register defaults allows
us to skip registers that are at their default values when we resume which
can be a substantial win on larger modern devices. For some devices
(mostly older ones) the hardware does not support readback so the only way we
can know the values is from code and so initializing the cache with default
values makes it much easier for drivers work with read/modify/write
updates.
