[Skiboot] [RFC PATCH 6/8] pef: ultra-call support for skiboot

From: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

A new type of system call called the ultra call is used to get the
services of the ultravisor. This ultracall support is needed in skiboot
to access the xscoms which are in the secure memory area.
