This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

The powerpc specific nx-842 compression driver does not currently
handle translating a vmalloc address to a physical address.
The current driver uses __pa() for all addresses which does not
properly handle vmalloc addresses and thus causes a failure since
we do not pass a proper physical address to the hypervisor.
This patch adds a routine to convert an address to a physical
address by checking for vmalloc addresses and handling them properly.

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree
from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this
functionality available to all architectures.
Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications
for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new
struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain.
The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the
property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property
updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

virt_to_abs() is just a wrapper around __pa(), use __pa() directly.
We should be including <asm/page.h> to get __pa(). abs_addr.h will be
removed shortly so drop that.
We were getting of.h via abs_addr.h so we need to include that directly.
Having done all that, clean up the ordering of the includes.

This patch adds the driver for interacting with the 842
compression accelerator on IBM Power7+ systems.
The device is a child of the Platform Facilities Option (PFO)
and shows up as a child of the IBM VIO bus.
The compression/decompression API takes the same arguments
as existing compression methods like lzo and deflate. The 842
hardware operates on 4K hardware pages and the driver breaks up
input on 4K boundaries to submit it to the hardware accelerator.
