We pass actual buffer size to opal_validate_flash() OPAL API call
and in return it contains output buffer size.
Commit cc146d1d (Fix little endian issues) missed to set the size
param before making OPAL call. So firmware image validation fails.
This patch sets size variable before making OPAL call.

Firmware update on PowerNV platform takes several minutes. During
this time one CPU is stuck in FW and the kernel complains about "soft
lockups".
This patch returns all secondary CPUs to firmware before starting
firmware update process.

We have two copies of code that creates an OPAL sg list. Consolidate
these into a common set of helpers and fix the endian issues.
The flash interface embedded a version number in the num_entries
field, whereas the dump interface did did not. Since versioning
wasn't added to the flash interface and it is impossible to add
this in a backwards compatible way, just remove it.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"So here's my next branch for powerpc. A bit late as I was on vacation
last week. It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I
just added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for
powerpc, which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and
is trivial.
The highlights are, in addition to a bunch of bug fixes:
- Reworked Machine Check handling on kernels running without a
hypervisor (or acting as a hypervisor). Provides hooks to handle
some errors in real mode such as TLB errors, handle SLB errors,
etc...
- Support for retrieving memory error information from the service
processor on IBM servers running without a hypervisor and routing
them to the memory poison infrastructure.
- _PAGE_NUMA support on server processors
- 32-bit BookE relocatable kernel support
- FSL e6500 hardware tablewalk support
- A bunch of new/revived board support
- FSL e6500 deeper idle states and altivec powerdown support
You'll notice a generic mm change here, it has been acked by the
relevant authorities and is a pre-req for our _PAGE_NUMA support"

At present we assume candidate image is <= 256MB. But in P8,
candidate image size can go up to 750MB. Hence increasing
candidate image max size to 1GB.

Code update interface for powernv platform. This provides
sysfs interface to pass new image, validate, update and
commit images.
This patch includes:
- Below OPAL APIs for code update
- opal_validate_flash()
- opal_manage_flash()
- opal_update_flash()
- Create below sysfs files under /sys/firmware/opal
- image : Interface to pass new FW image
- validate_flash : Validate candidate image
- manage_flash : Commit/Reject operations
- update_flash : Flash new candidate image
Updating Image:
"update_flash" is an interface to indicate flash new FW.
It just passes image SG list to FW. Actual flashing is done
during system reboot time.
Note:
- SG entry format:
I have kept version number to keep this list similar to what
PAPR is defined.
