Most nvram options used by skiboot are just for debug or testing for
regressions. They should never be used long term.
We've hit a number of issues in testing and the field where nvram
options have been set "temporarily" but haven't been properly cleared
after, resulting in crashes or real bugs being masked.
This patch marks most nvram options used by skiboot as dangerous and
prints a chicken to remind users of the problem.

commit ba4d46fdd9eb ("console: Set log level from nvram") wants to read
from NVRAM rather early. This works fine on BMC based systems as
nvram_init() is actually synchronous. This is not true for FSP systems
and it turns out that the query for the console log level simply
queries blank nvram.
The simple fix is to wait for the NVRAM read to complete before
performing any query. Unfortunately it turns out that the fsp-nvram
code does not inform the generic NVRAM layer when the read is complete,
rather, it must be prompted to do so.
This patch addresses both these problems. This patch adds a check before
the first read of the NVRAM (for the console log level) that the read
has completed. The fsp-nvram code has been updated to inform the generic
layer as soon as the read completes.
The old prompt to the fsp-nvram code has been removed but a check to
ensure that the NVRAM has been loaded remains. It is conservative but
if the NVRAM is not done loading before the host is booted it will not
have an nvram device-tree node which means it won't be able to access
the NVRAM at all, ever, even after the NVRAM has loaded.

Adds a helper that looks for the given NVRAM config string and checks
that associated value is equal to the supplied value.

The running OS is free to re-write the contents of NVRAM. The skiboot
NVRAM parser relies on the NVRAM contents being valid so we need to
force the NVRAM contents to be revalidated after the host OS has written
to it.

This allows the ibm,skiboot partition to be used to store NUL terminated
key=value OF configuration strings. These strings can be written using
the nvram utility found in the linux powerpc-utils package. Currently
the only use case for this is passing command line arguments to the
boot kernel so only ASCII strings are supported. The 0xFF binary
escaping mechanism for configuration strings is not supported.

If the previously running OS modifies the NVRAM it may be left in an
invalid state. To prevent errors we need to re-validate the nvram format
in the fast-reboot path.

The NVRAM handling code was split into two files so that the partition
parsing could be separately tested. Currently there is no nvram.h and
the tests #include nvram-format.c directly. This patch renames
nvram-format.h to something more sensible.
