This patch adds a private HCALL to inform qemu the updated
rtas-base and rtas-entry address when OS invokes the call
"instantiate-rtas". This is required as qemu allocates the
error reporting structure in RTAS space upon a machine check
exception and hence needs to know the updated RTAS.
Enhancements to qemu to handle the private HCALL, prepare
error log and invoke machine check notification routine
are in a separate patch.

When running a pseries guest in PR KVM on top of pHyp, sc 1 instructions
are handled directly by pHyp, so we don't get to see them.
That means we need to get inventive. Invent a new instruction that behaves
like sc 1, but really is a reserved instruction that traps. This instruction
can be used by KVM to emulate sc 1 behavior.
This patch adds the SLOF support for it. With this, SLOF detects whether
it's running on such a broken setup and if so patches itself to execute
the fake sc 1 instruction instead of the real one.
Furthermore, we also hook into "quiesce" which Linux calls when it boots.
This gives us the chance to also patch Linux when it boots up, so it uses
the fake sc 1 too.

Initial display output does not show up in the VGA/VNC window.
Create replay buffer to store the initial output and when vga/vnc
console starts, dump the buffer there.

BenH still need to ACK this though.
From: Nikunj A. Dadhania <nikunj@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* Determines size of the flash using device tree.
* Provides nvram access functions for RTAS_NVRAM
* Allocates temporary buffer of nvram in SLOF code and use that in C.
(sbrk not available)
* NVRAM_LENGTH is used at various places, make sure it is well guarded
and also use dynamically determined size once an RTAS-NVRAM is
found.
* Use NVRAM_LENGTH as a variable in case of RTAS_NVRAM, not very
elegant though

Changelog from v1:
* #define cleanups suggested by Thomas/Benh
* Fix makefile which missed passing $FLAG for building llfw
* renamed vio-nvram.fs as rtas-nvram.fs
Currently the hvterm routines always use termno=0. This works because
QEMU has code that recognies termno=0 and chooses a "default" vty.
It would be more correct if the hvterm routines took the termno as an
argument. That way if we open a vty other than the default the output
will correctly go to that vty.
