diagnostics) channel to OPAL firmware.

Fastsleep is one of the idle state which cpuidle subsystem currently
uses on power8 machines. In this state L2 cache is brought down to a
threshold voltage. Therefore when the core is in fastsleep, the
communication between L2 and L3 needs to be fenced. But there is a bug
in the current power8 chips surrounding this fencing.
OPAL provides a workaround which precludes the possibility of hitting
this bug. But running with this workaround applied causes checkstop
if any correctable error in L2 cache directory is detected. Hence OPAL
also provides a way to undo the workaround.
In the existing implementation, workaround is applied by the last thread
of the core entering fastsleep and undone by the first thread waking up.
But this has a performance cost. These OPAL calls account for roughly
4000 cycles everytime the core has to enter or wakeup from fastsleep.
This patch introduces a sysfs attribute (fastsleep_workaround_applyonce)
to choose the behavior of this workaround.
By default, fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 0. In this case, workaround
is applied/undone everytime the core enters/exits fastsleep.
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 1. In this case the workaround is
applied once on all the cores and never undone. This can be triggered by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/fastsleep_workaround_applyonce
For simplicity this attribute can be modified only once. Implying, once
fastsleep_workaround_applyonce is changed to 1, it cannot be reverted
to the default state.

This change adds the OPAL interface definitions to allow Linux to read,
write and erase from system flash devices. We register platform devices
for the flash devices exported by firmware.
We clash with the existing opal_flash_init function, which is really for
the FSP flash update functionality, so we rename that initcall to
opal_flash_update_init().
A future change will add an mtd driver that uses this interface.

This removes definitions in opal-api.h that are completely unused in
Linux.
For each of these I see three possibilities, 1) we *should* be using
them in Linux and patches will arrive to do that, 2) they are not used
but should stay in the header to document the API for some important
reason, 3) they are not used and needn't be part of the API.

This commit gets opal-api.h to mostly match the version in Skiboot as of
commit ea7d806ab0ba.
The exceptions are things which are not (currently) used in Linux.
Most of this is just whitespace and a few things moving around. I think
the diff is readable.
Also OpalMessageType became opal_msg_type, requiring a change in the
Linux code.
Finally Skiboot and Linux disagree on CAPI vs CXL, because CAPI means
something else in Linux. To handle that we just point the Linux wrapper,
which is named "cxl" to the OPAL token OPAL_PCI_SET_PHB_CAPI_MODE.

We'd like to get to the stage where the OPAL API is defined in a header
that is identical between Linux and Skiboot.
As step one, split the bits that actually define the API into
opal-api.h. The Linux specific parts stay in opal.h.
