These patches enable kernels to register the addresses of their log_buf
pointer with skiboot over the exiting OPAL APIs, which in turn allows
debug tools to discover where the host keeps it's secrets.

v2: Address Vasant's review

The first user of this feature will be the implementation of a 'pdbg
dmesg' command to read out the contents of the host kernel log buffer.

I've tested this on a romulus system.
