This allows rtas_args to be put on the machine check stack, which
avoids a lot of complications with re-entrancy deadlocks.

This ifdef is not needed. FW_FEATURE_LPAR is only possible on 
CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 (indeed only on PSERIES or PS3). On others 
firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_LPAR) should return 0 at compile time.

You should use SZ_4G instead of hardcoding.

Sure I'll remove it.
