H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT allows packing up to 512 TCE updates into a single
hypercall; H_STUFF_TCE can clear lots in a single hypercall too.
However, unlike H_STUFF_TCE (which writes the same TCE to all entries),
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT uses a 4K page with new TCEs. In a secure VM
environment this means sharing a secure VM page with a hypervisor which
we would rather avoid.
This splits the FW_FEATURE_MULTITCE feature into FW_FEATURE_PUT_TCE_IND
and FW_FEATURE_STUFF_TCE. "hcall-multi-tce" in
the "/rtas/ibm,hypertas-functions" device tree property sets both;
the "multitce=off" kernel command line parameter disables both.
This should not cause behavioural change.
