[PATCH v2 1/11] Expose pseries devicetree_update()

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources
(CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is
predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an
equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused
memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter
the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the
Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a
mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of
its platform resources.

When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS
calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the
updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the
pseries_devtree_update() routine used in partition migration.

This patch simply exposes pseries_devicetree_update() so it can be
called by rtasd. pseries_devicetree_update() and supporting functions
are also modified to take a 32-bit 'scope' parameter. This parameter is
required by the ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls, and
the appropriate value is contained within the RTAS event for PRRN
notifications. In pseries_devicetree_update() it was previously
hard-coded to 1, the scope value for partition migration.
