Also, how do we expose to Linux that the new API is supported ?

Linux shouldn't create the additional files if it isn't...

There are two ways, we can have a property in the DT of the PHB
indicating that it supports error injection or we can check for the
existence of the OPAL token at boot (there's an OPAL call to do that).

Cheers,
Ben.
