[PATCH] powerpc: Enable the DAWR on POWER9 DD2.3 and above

The hardware bug in POWER9 preventing use of the DAWR was fixed in
DD2.3. Set the CPU_FTR_DAWR feature bit on these newer systems to start
using it again, and update the documentation accordingly.
The CPU features for DD2.3 are currently determined by "DD2.2 or later"
logic. In adding DD2.3 as a discrete case for the first time here, I'm
carrying the quirks of DD2.2 forward to keep all behavior outside of
this DAWR change the same. This leaves the assessment and potential
removal of those quirks on DD2.3 for later.

DAWR issues on POWER9
=====================
-On POWER9 the Data Address Watchpoint Register (DAWR) can cause a checkstop
-if it points to cache inhibited (CI) memory. Currently Linux has no way to
-distinguish CI memory when configuring the DAWR, so (for now) the DAWR is
-disabled by this commit::

- powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features
+On older POWER9 processors, the Data Address Watchpoint Register (DAWR) can
+cause a checkstop if it points to cache inhibited (CI) memory. Currently Linux
+has no way to distinguish CI memory when configuring the DAWR, so on affected
+systems, the DAWR is disabled.
+
+Affected processor revisions
+============================
+
+This issue is only present on processors prior to v2.3. The revision can be
+found in /proc/cpuinfo::
+
+ processor : 0
+ cpu : POWER9, altivec supported
+ clock : 3800.000000MHz
+ revision : 2.3 (pvr 004e 1203)
+
+On a system with the issue, the DAWR is disabled as detailed below.
