Currently xmon could call XIVE functions from OPAL even if the XIVE is
disabled or does not exist in the system, as in POWER8 machines. This
causes the following exception:
1:mon> dx
cpu 0x1: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000423c93450]
pc: c00000000009cfa4: opal_xive_dump+0x50/0x68
lr: c0000000000997b8: opal_return+0x0/0x50
This patch simply checks if XIVE is enabled before calling XIVE
functions.
