[Skiboot] [PATCH v1 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.

Thanks for Stewart Smith, BenH and Micheal Ellerman for feedback comments.

Change log v1:

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.

Kindly let me know your comments and feedback.
