I wouldn't make it BMC specific.

Instead, I would suggest you:

 - Add "generic" OPAL calls that populate the debug descritor (ie,
statically defined using OPAL_CALL).

 - Make the above call an optional machine.register_dump_region

 - Make FSP machines populate the above to *also* register with the
FSP.

That way we can also use/create similar tools (or just getmemproc) to
get to the kernel dmesg via the debug descriptor on FSP systems.

Cheers,
Ben.
