This patch corrects the printing of progress indicators to the op
panel on p/iSeries ppc64 systems. Each discrete reference code should
begin with a form feed char to clear the op panel, and the first and
second lines should be separated with a CR/LF sequence. Padding with
spaces is not necessary.
Also, capitalize the hex value printed on the first line, to be
consistent with the values printed by firmware, service processor,
etc.
It turns out that there's an ibm,form-feed property; this patch uses
it in the pSeries-specific progress routine. This patch also checks
the number of rows and the specific width of each row (the second row
on power5 systems can actually hold 80 characters). If the displayed
text is too wide for the physical display, it can be viewed in the ASM
menus, or by selecting option 14 on the op panel.

The pSeries_progress function is called from some places in the rtas code,
which may also be used by non-pSeries platforms.
Though pSeries is currently the only platform type that implements
display-character, the code is actually generic enough to be part of
the rtas subsystem.
I hit a bug here because the generic rtas code tried calling ppc_md.progress,
which points to an __init function on most platforms.
We could also clear the ppc_md.progress pointer when freeing the init memory
to make it more explicit that ppc_md.progress must not be called after
bootup.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
