Linux expect a "ibm,opal/dump" node to know whether MPIPL (aka fadump)
is supported on the hardware.

Export the "ibm,opal/dump" node in QEMU's device tree for Linux to know
that PowerNV supports MPIPL.

With the commit, kernel boots thinking fadump is supported, and reserves
memory regions for fadump if "fadump=on" is passed in kernel cmdline:

    Linux/PowerPC load: init=/bin/sh debug fadump=on
    Finalizing device tree... flat tree at 0x20ebaca0
    [    1.005765851,5] DUMP: Payload sent metadata tag : 0x800002a8
    [    1.005980914,5] DUMP: Boot mem size : 0x40000000
    [    0.000000] opal fadump: Kernel metadata addr: 800002a8
    [    0.000000] fadump: Reserved 1024MB of memory at 0x00000040000000 (System RAM: 20480MB)
    [    0.000000] fadump: Initialized 0x40000000 bytes cma area at 1024MB from 0x400102a8 bytes of memory reserved for firmware-assisted dump

Also, OPAL and Linux expect the "mpipl-boot" device tree node on a MPIPL
boot. Hence add "mpipl-boot" property in device tree on an MPIPL boot.

Hence after crash, Linux knows when it's a MPIPL/fadump boot:

    [    0.000000] opal fadump: Firmware-assisted dump is active.
    [    0.000000] fadump: Firmware-assisted dump is active.
    [    0.000000] fadump: Reserving 23552MB of memory at 0x00000040000000 for preserving crash data

Do note that fadump boot in PowerNV seems to require more memory,
trying with 1GB causes this error by kernel:

    [    0.000000] fadump: Failed to find memory chunk for reservation!

And even with anything from 2GB - 19GB, the kernel fails to boot due to
some memory issues.

Trying with >20GB memory is recommended for now

Above could be wrapped in pnv_dt_mpipl(fdt) and called here?

Where is this getting free'ed ?

Could above be wrapped in pnv_reset_mpipl(fdt) and called if
pnv_sbe_is_mpipl_boot is true?

Usually we have a set along with reset and helpers for modifying struct 
members. Above helpers for a gloabl var seems a bit un-necessary. I 
guess we want to keep such global vars inside relevant struct.
