Nothing interesting, just a known powerpc-randconfig issue and one more
truncated relocation in powerpc-allyesconfig[*].

[*] Just wondering: Recently m68k had to fix a kernel size limitation (cfr.
commit 486df8bc4627bdfc ("m68k: Increase initial mapping to 8 or 16 MiB
if possible"), as multi_defconfig was no longer bootable. How long
before PPC is forced to fix the toolchain due to kernel bloat ;-)
