1679c30254 Make RTAS calls, which call setfault() to recover from machine checks,
preserve any existing fault buffer. RTAS calls are meant to be safe from
interrupt context (and are indeed used there to implement the xics PIC
drvier). Without this, calling into RTAS in interrupt context would have
the effect of clearing any existing onfault state of the interrupted
thread, potentially leading to a panic.

e52f055d23 Use a spin lock instead of a mutex to gate RTAS. This is required if RTAS
calls are involved in interrupt handling.

d745c852be Mark MALLOC_DEFINEs static that have no corresponding MALLOC_DECLAREs.
This means that their use is restricted to a single C file.

9134df8b6f Add better error handling for RTAS calls. These can potentially cause
machine checks (e.g. invalid PCI configuration cycles), but these can
be caught and recovered from. This change also the RTAS PCI driver to
work without modification as a replacement for the Grackle driver on
Grackle-based Powermacs.

Renovate and improve the AIM Open Firmware support:
- Add RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction Services) support, found on all IBM systems
  and some Apple ones
- Improve support for 32-bit real mode Open Firmware systems
- Pull some more OF bits over from the AIM directory
- Fix memory detection on IBM LPARs and systems with more than one /memory
