So, in order to answer that kind of question accuratly and completely, I
took a loooong detour into the depths of history and came out with that
giant 110 patch long series improving the docs recently.

Notably, https://open-power.github.io/skiboot/doc/opal-api/index.html is
where there's relevant chatter on what all those random ones were/are.

My inclination is to say that we shouldn't go and re-use the never
implemented ones or removed ones just to avoid any possible confusion
(plus, we're probably not going to run out of call tokens any time
soon).

I think bbcbbd3e071ffe654596ce19ddf8d99b4176bbc3 superseded this patch
though, and we don't have any set NVT state call reserved.
