This is standard PAPR interface that has been defined long time ago.
However, new H_CEDE hints that map to new platform features will
appear in the same interface and Linux needs to prepare and be ready
to check and exploit the new hints if they are useful for the given
setup.

More logic will be added to this function in the subsequent patches to
actually make use of the information that is obtained from the platform
firmware.
