As reported[1] by Nathan, the recently added plpks driver will crash if it's built into the kernel and booted on a non-pseries machine, eg powernv: kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/kernel/syscall.c:39!

The fix is simply to not probe the plpks driver on non-pseries machines.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
