Adds support for the PS3 virtual UART (vuart). The vuart provides a
bi-directional byte stream data link between logical partitions.
This is needed for the ps3 graphics driver and the ps3 power
control support to be able to communicate with the lv1 policy
module.

A few code paths need to check whether or not they are running
on the PS3's LV1 hypervisor before making hcalls. This introduces
a new firmware feature bit for this, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1.
Now when both PS3 and IBM_CELL_BLADE are enabled, but not PSERIES,
FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1 and FW_FEATURE_LPAR get enabled at compile time,
which is a bug. The same problem can also happen for (PPC_ISERIES &&
!PPC_PSERIES && PPC_SOMETHING_ELSE). In order to solve this, I
introduce a new CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE option that is set when at least
one platform is selected that can run without a hypervisor and then
turns the firmware feature check into a run-time option.
The new cell oprofile support that was recently merged does not
work on hypervisor based platforms like the PS3, therefore make
it depend on PPC_CELL_NATIVE instead of PPC_CELL. This may change
if we get oprofile support for PS3.

Adds support for early access to the parameter data from the PS3 'Other OS'
flash memory area. The parameter data mainly holds user preferences like
static ip address.

Adds some needed bits for a config option PS3_USE_LPAR_ADDR that disables
the PS3 lpar address translation mechanism. This is a currently needed
workaround for limitations in the design of the generic cell spu support.
