powerpc/rtas: dispatch partition migration requests to pseries
sys_rtas() cannot call ibm,suspend-me directly in the same way it handles other inputs. Instead it must dispatch the request to code that can first perform the H_JOIN sequence before any call to ibm,suspend-me can succeed. Over time kernel/rtas.c has accreted a fair amount of platform-specific code to implement this. Since a different, more robust implementation of the suspend sequence is now in the pseries platform code, we want to dispatch the request there. Note that invoking ibm,suspend-me via the RTAS syscall is all but deprecated; this change preserves ABI compatibility for old programs while providing to them the benefit of the new partition suspend implementation. This is a behavior change in that the kernel performs the device tree update and firmware activation before returning, but experimentation indicates this is tolerated fine by legacy user space.
