This adds support for PCI-X and PCIe on the p5ioc2 IO hub using OPAL. This includes allocating & setting up TCE tables and config space access routines. This also supports fallbacks via RTAS when OPAL is absent, using legacy TCE format pre-allocated via the device-tree (BML style) Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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 Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds a skeletton for the new Power "Non Virtualized" platform which will be used by machines supporting running without an hypervisor, for example in order to run KVM. These machines will be using a new firmware called OPAL for which the support will be provided by later patches. The PowerNV platform is intended to be also usable under the BML environment used internally for early CPU bringup which is why the code also supports using RTAS instead of OPAL in various places.
