If ibm,hypertas-functions prop has to be part of rtas or rtas at 0 node to 
decide we are on LPAR then how about splitting the probe_fw_features 
functions into two functions, one to detect FW_FEATURE_LPAR and another 
function to do the rest?

No only FW_FEATURE_LPAR feature so that kernel can decide the 
crashkernel offset accordingly.


Thanks for the review.
