ppc/pnv: add a PnvChip object

This is is an abstraction of a POWER8 chip which is a set of cores
plus other 'units', like the pervasive unit, the interrupt controller,
the memory controller, the on-chip microcontroller, etc. The whole can
be seen as a socket. It depends on a cpu model and its characteristics:
max cores and specific inits are defined in a PnvChipClass.

We start with an near empty PnvChip with only a few cpu constants
which we will grow in the subsequent patches with the controllers
required to run the system.

The Chip CFAM (Common FRU Access Module) ID gives the model of the
chip and its version number. It is generally the first thing firmwares
fetch, available at XSCOM PCB address 0xf000f, to start initialization.
