[Skiboot] [RFC PATCH 02/10] core/flash.c: add SECBOOT read and write support

From: Claudio Carvalho <cclaudio at linux.ibm.com>

The SECBOOT partition is used to store secure boot variables and variable
updates. A variable/update can store several data types, including a x509
certificate, but for skiboot the variable/update data is a blob that can be
handled by the linux kernel via secure boot runtime services (added by
other patches in this series).

This implements the SECBOOT API required to provide the aforementioned
runtime services. This implementation is based on the NVRAM API
implementation.

NOTE: There are other ways to implement the SECBOOT API, for example
extending the current resource load framework (flash API). Issues:
(1) Looking at the NVRAM code, it seems that the flash API should be used
only for boot services. (2) The flash API spend some space with partition
and subpartition headers, but the SECBOOT space is very limited for the
purpose. (3) The flash API doesn't support partial writes to a partition or
subpartition. The SECBOOT API can also be implemented extending the NVRAM
API. The same platform hooks could be used if a new parameter is added to
determine the partition.
