[Skiboot] [PATCH v3 7/7] opal/hmi: Never trust a cow!

With opencapi, it's fairly common to trigger HMIs during AFU
development on the FPGA, by not replying in time to an NPU command,
for example. So shift the blame reported by that cow to avoid crowding
my mailbox.

Dear Stewart: I'm impressed by your willingness to fight for the
bovine cultural identity. However, it makes my life hard. I therefore
plead for you to consider this patch. Truth is, NPUs in mixed mode
(opencapi and nvlink) are unlikely to become the norm, so cows can
keep symbolizing (mostly) your favorite graphics card manufacturer.
In a later patch, for platforms where we only have opencapi, we could
switch animal. But it is hard to draw a capybara in ascii!
