[PATCH 0/2] non maskable interrupt reentrancy fixes for OPAL

Hi,

These fixes are more minimal, and split up properly since last post.
Also accounted for Ben's comment of using HSRRs rather than disabling
RI for OPAL_CALL.

This will still increase cost of opal calls a bit due to new mtmsr in
FIXUP_ENDIAN return.

I have a few more patches that reduce overhead quite a bit, but they
won't be suitable for 4.12, so I'll send those out after merge window.

Thanks,
Nick
