PowerPC FW introduced HVPIPE RTAS calls such as
ibm,send-hvpipe-msg and ibm,receive-hvpipe-msg for the user space
to exchange information with different sources such as Hardware
Management Consoles (HMC).
HVPIPE_IOC_CREATE_HANDLE is defined to use /dev/papr-hvpipe
interface for ibm,send-hvpipe-msg and ibm,receive-hvpipe-msg
RTAS calls.
Also defined papr_hvpipe_hdr which will added in the payload
that is passed between the kernel and the user space.
