[Skiboot] [PATCH] mpipl: Rework memory reservation for OPAL dump

During boot, OPAL reserves memory required to capture OPAL dump and
architected register data. During MPIPL, hostboot will copy OPAL dump
to this memory. Post MPIPL kernel will use this memory to create opalcore.
We use mem_reserve_fw() for this reservation. At present this reservation
happens late in the init path. It may clash with memory allocated by
local_alloc().

We have two option to fix above issue:
  - Use local_alloc() for allocating memory for OPAL dump
    This works fine on first boot. We can use this method to reserve
    memory. But Post MPIPL we still want to reserve destination
    memory to make sure no one is stomping this area. Also this reservation
    might have happened in between other local_allocations. So in Post MPIPL
    boot allocator may not find enough memory in first region for other
    local_alloc() requests and may throw mem_alloc()  error before trying to
    allocate from other regions.

  - Early memory reservation for OPAL dump
    Allocate and reserve memory just after memory region init.


This patch uses second approach to fix reservation issue.
