Blame me.  I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but
unfortunately happens to break the booke kernel code.  When building
up a 64-bit value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences,
you now should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha.  @h and
@ha (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and
R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA) now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit
signed range.  ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value.
This is needed to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer
offsets in @toc@h and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did
the same for all other @h and @ha relocs.
