[Skiboot] [PATCH skiboot v2] npu2: Disable Probe.I.MO snarfing by default

V100 GPUs are known to violate NVLink2 protocol in some cases (one is when
memory was accessed by the CPU and they by GPU using so called block
linear mapping) and issue double probes to NPU which can still handle this
but only if CONFIG_ENABLE_SNARF_CPM is not set in the CQ_SM Misc Config
register #0. If the bit is set (which is the case today), NPU issues
the machine check stop.

The snarfing feature is designed to detect 2 probes in flight and combine
them into one.

This adds a new "opal-npu2-snarf-cpm" nvram variable which controls
CONFIG_ENABLE_SNARF_CPM for all NVLinks to prevent the machine check
stop from happening. By default snarfing is disabled. In order to enable
it as there might be a small unconfirmed performance impact, the user has
to run:
sudo nvram -p ibm,skiboot --update-config opal-npu2-snarf-cpm=enable
and reboot the host system.

While at this, define macros for register names as well to avoid touching
same lines over and over again.
