Subject: powerpc/pseries: Add H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS flags & wrapper
From: Michael Neuling <mikey@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 191eccb1580939fb0d47deb405b82a85b0379070 upstream.
A new hypervisor call has been defined to communicate various
characteristics of the CPU to guests. Add definitions for the hcall
number, flags and a wrapper function.
