[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: detect secure and trusted boot state of the system.

Thanks Nayna!

I'm hoping to get better public documentation for this soon as it's not
documented in a public PAPR yet.

Until then:

The values of ibm,secure-boot under PowerVM are:

 0 - disabled
 
 1 - audit mode only. This patch ignores this value for Linux, which I
     think is the appropriate thing to do.

 2 - enabled and enforcing

 3-9 - enabled, OS-defined behaviour. In this patch we map all these
       values to enabled and enforcing. Again I think this is the
       appropriate thing to do.

ibm,trusted-boot isn't published by a current PowerVM LPAR but will be
published in future. (Currently, trusted boot state is inferred by the
presence or absense of a vTPM.) It's simply 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled.

As for this patch specifically, with the very small nits below,

Maybe this should be an else if?

Likewise.
