Pull power fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are a couple of powerpc fixes for 3.14.

  One is (another!) nasty TM problem, we can crash the kernel by forking
  inside a transaction.  The other one is a simple fix for an alignment
  issue which can hurt in LE mode"

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
  powerpc: Align p_dyn, p_rela and p_st symbols
  powerpc/tm: Fix crash when forking inside a transaction
