Different platforms and architectures offer different NVRAM sizes and
access methods. E.g. PPC32 has byte-at-a-time read/write functions whereas
PPC64 has byte-range read/write functions. Adopt the nvram_ops struct so
the nvram module can call such functions as are defined by the various 
platforms and architectures.

The #ifdefs here restrict the procfs and checksumming code to those
architectures with PC-style RTC NVRAM. There may be a better place for
that code but it's an open question. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/3/22

The procfs code here, unless relevant to an ARM platform, could be moved to
arch/x86 (like the earlier patch does for m68k code) and the nvram ops
could be implemented and exported by the rtc-cmos driver instead. This
would eliminate these #ifdefs and almost eliminate the arch-specific code.
