[Skiboot] [PATCH v5 1/9] Introduce hwprobe facility to avoid hard-coding probe functions

From: Stewart Smith <stewart at flamingspork.com>

hwprobe is a little system to have different hardware probing modules
run in the dependency order they choose rather than hard coding
that order in core/init.c.
