[v8] powerpc/powernv: add 'firmware/exports' attributes to sysfs

The HDAT data area is consumed by skiboot and turned into a device-tree. In
some cases we would like to look directly at the HDAT. This is not possible
through /dev/mem as it is reserved memory which is stopped by the /dev/mem
filter. There are also other memory areas which are reserved but could be
useful to view for debugging purposes.

This patch adds sysfs nodes to allow specified memory areas to be viewed.
sysfs nodes are created for each property in the device-tree under
/ibm,opal/firmware/exports/, and adds them to /sys/firmware/opal/exports/
with root read-only permissions.
