[Skiboot] [PATCH 00/16] assorted MCE and SRESET handling and reporting

There is a motley assortment of precursor patches 1-8 that I ended
up writing while implementing and testing the others, each one of
these is independent and could be cherry-picked. The only real bug
fix is patch 1.

The rest of the series basically tries to improve handling of the non
maskable interrupts MCE and SRESET, basically reducing cases where
MSR[ME]=1, properly handle MCE from power saving mode, reporting SRESET
interrupts with a register dump, reducing windows where an NMI will
crash due to vectors or SPRs being out of synch.

By the end of the series, we have the capability to handle and return
from interrupts, and that is actually done in the case of SRESET
interrupts. All others are still fatal, however this opens the
possibility to contiue after a recoverable MCE, take virtual memory
faults, implement a decrementer watchdog, etc.

Thanks,
Nick
