[RFC PATCH 3/9] powerpc: Introduce a early machine check hook in cpu_spec.

[Mahesh J Salgaonkar]

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch adds the early machine check function pointer in cputable for
CPU specific early machine check handling. The early machine handle routine
will be called in real mode to handle SLB and TLB errors. This patch just
sets up a mechanism invoke CPU specific handler. The subsequent patches
will populate the function pointer.
