Commit 90cd4bdd2bc0 ("powerpc/32s: Fix RTAS machine check with VMAP stack")
is missing some context commits (and at least one of the patches it presumably fixes
isn't even v5.10.y in the first place). Looking through Fixes: tags, it seems that ppc
support in v5.10.y may be a bit of a mess, at least for 32-bit systems.
