Adopt nvram module to reduce code duplication. This means CONFIG_NVRAM becomes available to PPC64 builds. Previously it was only available to PPC32 builds because it depended on CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM. The IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl as implemented on PPC64 validates the offset returned by pmac_get_partition(). Do the same in the nvram module. Note that the old PPC32 generic_nvram module lacked this test. So when CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned 0 (always). But when CONFIG_PPC64 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned -1 (which is -EPERM) when the requested partition was not found. With this patch, the result is now -EINVAL on both PPC32 and PPC64 when the requested PowerMac NVRAM partition is not found. This is a userspace- visible change, in the non-existent partition case, which would be in an error path for an IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl syscall.
