Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pseries: phyp dump: Disable phyp-dump through boot-var.

From: Manish Ahuja <[email-masked]>

The goal of these 2 patches is to ensure that there is only one dumping
mechanism enabled at any given time. These patches depend upon phyp-dump
patches posted earlier.

Patch 1:

Addition of boot-variable "phyp_dump", which takes values [0/1] for disabling/
enabling phyp_dump at boot time. Kdump can use this on cmdline (phyp_dump=0) 
to disable phyp-dump during boot when enabling itself. This will ensure only
one dumping mechanism is active at any given time.
