[SRU][Artful][PATCH 0/2] Fixes for LP:1721070

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1721070

== SRU Justification ==
POWER9 DD2.1 and earlier has an issue where some cache inhibited
vector load will return bad data. The fix is two part, one
firmware/microcode part triggers HMI interrupts when hitting such
loads, the other part is commit 5080332c2c89 from linux-next which then 
emulates the instructions in Linux.

The affected instructions are limited to lxvd2x, lxvw4x, lxvb16x and
lxvh8x.
  
Commit ccd3cd361341 is needed as a prereq, and is in mainline as of 4.14-rc1.
Commit 5080332c2c89 is still in linux-next.  Both commts are clean cherry
picks in Artful.  This fix is also need in Zesty, but Zesty needs an addition
prereq, so a seperate SRU request will be sent.

 
== Fixes ==
ccd3cd361341 ("powerpc/mce: Move 64-bit machine check code into mce.c")
5080332c2c89 ("powerpc/64s: Add workaround for P9 vector CI load issue") 

== Regression Potential ==
These commits are specific to powerpc and have been tested by IBM.

== Test Case == 
A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
