[Skiboot] [PATCH 0/4] OPAL debugfs calls

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

These patches add a couple of OPAL read/write calls which let the OPAL
drivers expose any kind of low level information : configuration, HW
registers, statistics. The write call can perform some reconfiguration.

I have been using them for a while on P9 and P10 to query XIVE internals,
time statistics on HW procedures and to modify the allocation of XIVE
resources for guests. It might be useful to others as debug or bringup
extensions. 

Last is the quickly-coded generic Linux driver.

One problem is our snprintf implementation in OPAL which does not
return the number of bytes that would have been written if the buffer
was large enough. It would help the Linux driver.

Thanks,

C.

Changes since RFC:

 - introduced a list of opal_debug nodes

 - removed statistics
