The reserved boot flag is now used by a BMC to signal to the host
firmware that it supports the mbox protocol[1].

Currently this has no affect on Hostboot, but in the future it will be
used by skiboot.  In the future hostboot could chose to use the mbox
protocol to read and write PNOR.

This patch is for hostboot, but we will have to interpret these flags in
skiboot, so I'm asking for some review here in parallel to submitting it
to the hostboot review process.

Note that this is for the P8 branch only; the P9 version of hostboot
uses mbox unconditionally.

This looks good to me, any traction on the hostboot side of things?
