[Skiboot] [PATCH V4 0/5] Enable NX 842 and gzip compression engines on Power9

Merged to skiboot master as of d689cb96ac58681bcff087e31162ff92fefd411d

I also added in the below patch to just be nicer with error messages, as
these aren't really *errors* currently, so much as "this functionality
isn't supported yet" bits of information.

Can you also work with Pridhiviraj to get something into
op-test-framework that adequately smoke-tests nx compression?
