In order to use PVR_POWER10 I would need to define it under
arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg.h, which is not present in 5.9 yet.
However, if it okay with @mpe I could split out Nick's P10 stop driver
(https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2020-August/216773.html)
into two parts:
1. This could include minimal code to introduce the P10 PVR and the
stop wrappers for it. Although this patch internally still calls into
the P9 path. This should gracefully fix the issue.
2. Then later in this patch we could introduce the p10 callback
methods as they are in Nick's series.

I'll just take this for now, it's the simplest option.
