[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Tell OPAL about our MMU mode

That will allow OPAL to configure the CPU in an optimal way.

The matching OPAL change has been sent to the skiboot list.

Setting those bits in the reinit() call with an older OPAL
will result in the call returning an error which Linux ignores
but it will still work in the sense that it will still honor
the other flags it understands (the endian switch ones).
