[PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilities
On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed for AIX and doesn't suit us very well. This patch adds the code to supply this data structure to the firmware.
