[PATCH] 0/4 abstract firmware feature checks

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

This series of patches are intended to abstract the current firmware
feature checks in such a way that they may be (sometimes) evaluated at
compile time.  This should hopefully, reduce the checks on
CONFIG_PPC_[IP]SERIES.  They also introduce a feature bit to identify the
iSeries hypervisor.

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for the method I have taken from his
CPU_HAS_FEATURE patch.
