Title:
  ppc64el: Need fix for exported OPAL functions

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]
  Using the i2c-opal backported driver with Ubuntu 3.16 will cause an oops.

  [Test Case]
  Use the i2c-opal module on 3.16 w/ i2c-opal backported patches. See bug 1419151.

  [Fix]

  Please backport 19d36c2152aaf093c97431b5b4d13d29305a63a3 "powernv: Use _GLOBAL_TOC for opal wrappers"
  to 3.16.x otherwise bad things happen when using the already backported i2c-opal kernel module due to a problem
  with exporting OPAL kernel interfaces that this commit fixes.
