Leveraging MPIPL feature, FADump support is added in upstream kernel
(v5.4) for OPAL based platforms. To fulfill this support, petitboot
kernel needs to be made FADump aware (config PRESERVE_FA_DUMP). So,
enable 'config PRESERVE_FA_DUMP' in skiboot defconfig.
Also, backport relevant patches to v5.3 stable release (v5.3.1) till
petitboot kernel is rebased to 5.4 version.
