[PATCH][RFC] opal: allow some opal calls to re-enter OPAL in case we take a NMI

[Nicholas Piggin]

I'm not sure if I like this, as said in the other mail. Seems a bit
arbitrary. I wouldn't mind making a single special opal call,
OPAL_MAYDAY, which is allowed through the reentrancy check, stops
all other CPUs, prints some opal backtraces, then allows the remaining
CPU to issue more OPAL calls, so we can print the Linux console out,
reboot, etc.

That would require kernel change, so maybe we can do something like
this for older kernels.
