Add two new lockdown reasons for use in powerpc's pseries platform
code.
The pseries platform allows hardware-level error injection via certain
calls to the RTAS (Run Time Abstraction Services) firmware. ACPI-based
error injection is already restricted in lockdown; this facility
should be restricted for the same reasons.
pseries also allows nearly arbitrary device tree changes via
/proc/powerpc/ofdt. Just as overriding ACPI tables is not allowed
while locked down, so should this facility be restricted.
