This series still doesn't build on !CONFIG_RTAS configs:
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/629/

This solution is to move early_init_dt_scan_phyp_dump() into
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/phyp_dump.c and provide a dummy
implementation in asm-powerpc/phyp_dump.c for the !CONFIG_PHYP_DUMP
case.
