Bug Description
Please add upstream commit
To add support for that new processor variant. The cores are identical to POWER8 so there is no difference
to the kernel to get things booted and installed. It adds the "nvlink" function for which separate patches
will be submitted later, but at least with the above commit, the machines will be able to boot.

Cherry-picked and pushed to Vivid master-next. It'll go out in the next Vivid kernel upload. Thanks!
