This adds some more interfaces for OPAL v2

OPAL can handle various interrupt for us such as Machine Checks (it
performs all sorts of recovery tasks and passes back control to us with
informations about the error), Hardware Management Interrupts and Softpatch
interrupts.
This wires up the mechanisms and prints out specific informations returned
by HAL when a machine check occurs.

Implements OPAL RTC and NVRAM support and wire all that up to
the powernv platform.
We use RTAS for RTC as a fallback if available. Using RTAS for nvram
is not supported yet, pending some rework/cleanup and generalization
of the pSeries & CHRP code. We also use RTAS fallbacks for power off
and reboot

This adds a udbg and an hvc console backend for supporting a console
using the OPAL console interfaces.
On OPAL v1 we have hvc0 mapped to whatever console the system was
configured for (network or hvsi serial port) via the service
processor.
On OPAL v2 we have hvcN mapped to the Nth console provided by OPAL
which generally corresponds to:
hvc0 : network console (raw protocol)
hvc1 : serial port S1 (hvsi)
hvc2 : serial port S2 (hvsi)
Note: At this point, early debug console only works with OPAL v1
and shouldn't be enabled in a normal kernel.

Add definition of OPAL interfaces along with the wrappers to call
into OPAL runtime and the early device-tree parsing hook to locate
the OPAL runtime firmware.

On machines supporting the OPAL firmware version 1, the system
is initially booted under pHyp. We then use a special hypercall
to verify if OPAL is available and if it is, we then trigger
a "takeover" which disables pHyp and loads the OPAL runtime
firmware, giving control to the kernel in hypervisor mode.
This patch add the necessary code to detect that the OPAL takeover
capability is present when running under PowerVM (aka pHyp) and
perform said takeover to get hypervisor control of the processor.
To perform the takeover, we must first use RTAS (within Open
Firmware runtime environment) to start all processors & threads,
in order to give control to OPAL on all of them. We then call
the takeover hypercall on everybody, OPAL will re-enter the kernel
main entry point passing it a flat device-tree.
