[RFC , PATCH] support for the ibm,pa_features cpu property

[Will Schmidt]

To determine if our processors support some features, such as large
pages, we should be using the ibm,pa_features property, rather than just
the PVR values.  
This is an initial pass at the functionality.  This has been tested in
the case where the property is missing, but still needs to be tested
against a system where the property actually exists.  :-o
