[Skiboot] [PATCH v2 00/11]OPAL support for Nest instrumentation

[Madhavan Srinivasan]

Patchset adds support for Nest instrumentation services
in OPAL. Power8 has Nest instrumentation enabled with which
per-chip metrics like memory bandwidth, Powerbus, X link and
A link metrics can be obtained.

Patchset does two things,1) At the time of boot, it detects
the Nest instrumentation feature and created device-tree
entries to pass the information to kernel. Secondly, it
implements an opal call to control the PORE Thread Scheduler
(PTS) from kernel to start/stop Nest PMU counter collection.
Patchset tested only in IBM Tuleta boxes.

Change log from v1:

1)Modified OPAL-API interface, now opal call has two parameters and have
  add documentation for the same.
2)Have split the lid loading part into two functions, first queues lid loading
  and second part verifies the magic and updates the data structure.
3)Added workaround for default sampling rate issue
4)Added more comments,fixed spelling errors,removed type cast for malloc
5)Moved "NEST_CATALOGUE_SIZE" macro definition from mem-map.h to nest.h
6)Added "Naples" chip id check
7)Merged alink (patch 8) and xlink (patch 9) dt type functions
8)Removed memset since snprintf takes care of adding trailing null
9)Renamed some variables and function for consistency.
10)Removed "ibm-fsp/firenze" from patchset subject since this series is not
  specific to "ibm-fsp/firenze" platform.
11)Made changes to commit messages.

Change log from RFC:

1) Removed "uncore" naming and replaced it with "nest/ima" in all the
  file and function.
2) Added a DT entry to pass DIMM rate information
3) Added nest instrumentation detection code and catalog parser function
4) Added support functions for different nest units.
