Hmm, on BPA we don't have the pSeries progress routine, because the
firmware has no sensible way of implementing the rtas call, but we want
to use the same flash code.
I can of course make a patch that moves pSeries_progress() from
pSeries_setup.c to rtas_progress() in rtas.c and use that only
for pSeries. AFAICS, the function doesn't do anything on SLOF,
but is not harmful either.
