[PATCH] fix future firmware feature fixups function failure

Move firmware feature initialisation from pSeries_init_early to the
earlier pSeries_probe_hypertas so they are initialised before firmware
feature fixups are applied.
Currently firmware feature sections are only used for iSeries which
initialises the these features much earlier. This is a bug in waiting
on pSeries.
Also adds some whitespace fixups.

I've cleaned this up and got it booting. Seems to be doing the right
things as I can see fw feature sections being correctly NOPed out now
after boot.
I've booted with pseries_defconfig and ppc64_defconfig.
Arnd, I've added a signed off by me, but it but this probably needs an
explicit one from you also before it heads up.
