Patch 2 implement rtas_call_reentrant() for reentrant rtas-calls:
"ibm,int-on", "ibm,int-off",ibm,get-xive" and "ibm,set-xive",
according to LoPAPR Version 1.1 (March 24, 2016).
For that, it's necessary that every call uses a different
rtas buffer (rtas_args). Paul Mackerras suggested using the PACA
structure for creating a per-cpu buffer for these calls.
Patch 1 was necessary to make PACA have a 'struct rtas_args' member.
Reentrant rtas calls can be useful to avoid deadlocks in crashing,
where rtas-calls are needed, but some other thread crashed holding
the rtas.lock.
This is a backtrace of a deadlock from a kdump testing environment:
#0 arch_spin_lock
#1 lock_rtas ()
#2 rtas_call (token=8204, nargs=1, nret=1, outputs=0x0)
#3 ics_rtas_mask_real_irq (hw_irq=4100)
#4 machine_kexec_mask_interrupts
#5 default_machine_crash_shutdown
#6 machine_crash_shutdown
#7 __crash_kexec
#8 crash_kexec
#9 oops_end

Changes since v2:
- Fixed build failure from ppc64e, by including spinlock_types.h on
rtas-types.h
- Improved commit messages
Changes since v1:
- Moved buffer from stack to PACA (as suggested by Paul Mackerras)
- Added missing output bits
- Improve documentation following kernel-doc format (as suggested by
Nathan Lynch)

2.25.4
In order to get any rtas* struct into other headers, including rtas.h
may cause a lot of errors, regarding include dependency needed for
inline functions.
Create rtas-types.h and move there all type/struct definitions
from rtas.h, then include rtas-types.h into rtas.h.
Also, as suggested by checkpath.pl, replace uint8_t for u8, and keep
the same type pattern for the whole file, as they are the same
according to powerpc/boot/types.h.

2.25.4
Implement rtas_call_reentrant() for reentrant rtas-calls:
"ibm,int-on", "ibm,int-off",ibm,get-xive" and "ibm,set-xive".
On LoPAPR Version 1.1 (March 24, 2016), from 7.3.10.1 to 7.3.10.4,
items 2 and 3 say:
2 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * call must be
reentrant to the number of processors on the platform.
3 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * argument call
buffer for each simultaneous call must be physically unique.
So, these rtas-calls can be called in a lockless way, if using
a different buffer for each cpu doing such rtas call.
For this, it was suggested to add the buffer (struct rtas_args)
in the PACA struct, so each cpu can have it's own buffer.
Reentrant rtas calls are useful to avoid deadlocks in crashing,
where rtas-calls are needed, but some other thread crashed holding
the rtas.lock.
This is a backtrace of a deadlock from a kdump testing environment:
#0 arch_spin_lock
#1 lock_rtas ()
#2 rtas_call (token=8204, nargs=1, nret=1, outputs=0x0)
#3 ics_rtas_mask_real_irq (hw_irq=4100)
#4 machine_kexec_mask_interrupts
#5 default_machine_crash_shutdown
#6 machine_crash_shutdown
#7 __crash_kexec
#8 crash_kexec
#9 oops_end

Doesn't this need to be more careful about preemption and exceptions?
I.e. the args structure in the paca needs to be protected from
concurrent use somehow, like any per-cpu data structure.
local_irq_save/restore while accessing local_paca->reentrant_args here
would be sufficient I think?

Yes, you are right.
I will also add preempt_{dis,en}able, which in most kernels will
compile out, but it will be kind of 'ready' if we ever decide to
support PREEMPT.
Thanks for the feedback!
