[PATCH] powerpc/cell: disable ptcal in case of kdump reboot

The ibm,cbe-start-ptcal rtas call transfers ownership
of a memory range to the hardware in order to do
periodic memory interface recalibration.
When we do a kexec, we need to get this page back,
so we don't step on the new kernel's toes.
We used to do this correctly in case of a user triggered
kexec, but not for kdump.

This patch disables ptcal from the cell specific
machine_crash_shutdown() callback. I also needed
to fix the pseries code that tries to install its
default_machine_crash_shutdown() code independent
of what machine we're running on.

The fix has been verified by Akira Tsukamoto, the
original reporter of the problem.
