To test for the existence of an RTAS function, we typically do:

   foo_token = rtas_token("foo");
   if (foo_token == RTAS_UNKNOWN_SERVICE)
      return;

Add a rtas_service_present method, which provides a more conventional
boolean interface for testing the existence of an RTAS method.

Move pSeries_mach_cpu_die() into platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.c,
this allows rtas_stop_self() to be static so remove the prototype.

Wire up pSeries_mach_cpu_die() in the initcall, rather than statically
in setup.c, the initcall will still run prior to the cpu hotplug code
being callable, so there should be no change in behaviour.

Per email discussion, it appears that rtas_stop_self()
and pSeries_mach_cpu_die() should not be compiled if
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not defined. This patch adds
#ifdefs around these bits of code.

<content type='text'>
Several RTAS calls take a "config_addr" parameter, which is a particular
way of specifying a PCI busno, devfn and register number into a 32-bit word.
Currently these are open-coded, and I'll be adding another soon, replace
them with a helper that encapsulates the logic. Be more strict about masking
the busno too, just in case.

Booted on P5 LPAR.

will be calling rtas_set_indicator with interrupts disabled to remove
them from global interrupt queue.

To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not
wait for RTAS 'busy' delay and this new function is used for kdump (in
xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away() and
xics_setup_cpu()).

Note that the platform architecture spec says that set-indicator
on the indicator we're using here is not permitted to return the
busy or extended busy status codes.

Althought RTAS is instantiated when we enter the kernel, we can't actually
call into it until we know its entry point address. Currently we grab that
in rtas_initialize(), however that's quite late in the boot sequence.

To enable rtas_call() earlier, we can grab the RTAS entry etc. values while
we're scanning the flattened device tree. There's existing code to retrieve
the values from /chosen, however we don't store them there anymore, so remove
that code.

Currently the kernel blindly halts all the processors and calls the
ibm,suspend-me rtas call.  If the firmware is not in the correct
state, we then re-start all the processors and return.  It is much
smarter to first check the firmware state, and only if it is waiting,
call the ibm,suspend-me call.

This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple
and consistent manner.  Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to
manage wait times and delay calls.

This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
when a runtime delay is necessary.  This will avoid CPU soft lockups
for extended delay conditions.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds Kconfig entries to control the early debugging options,
currently in setup_64.c.

Doing this via Kconfig rather than #defines means you can have one source tree,
which is buildable for multiple platforms - and you can enable the correct
early debug option for each platform via .config.

I made udbg_early_init() a static inline because otherwise GCC is to daft to
optimise it away when debugging is off.

Now that we have udbg_init_rtas() we can make call_rtas_display_status* static.

This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.
