Allow the LPID bit width and partition table size to be set at runtime
from the device tree.
Move the PID bit width detection into the same place.
KVM does not support using the extra bits yet, this is mainly required
to get the PTCR register values correct (so KVM will run but it will
not allocate > 4096 LPIDs).
OPAL firmware provides this property for POWER10 CPUs since skiboot
commit 9b85f7d961f2 ("hdata: add mmu-pid-bits and mmu-lpid-bits for
POWER10 CPUs").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
