  powerpc/64s: Clear PCR on boot (2018-05-18 16:05:15 +1000)

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
powerpc fixes for 4.17 #7

Just one fix, to make sure the PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) is reset
on boot. Otherwise if we're running in compat mode in a guest (eg. pretending a
Power9 is a Power8) and the host kernel oopses and kdumps then the kdump
kernel's userspace will be running in Power8 mode, and will SIGILL if it uses
Power9-only instructions.

Thanks to:
  Michael Neuling.
