[RFC 19/24] powerpc: Remove CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM and adopt CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_NVRAM_OPS

[Finn Thain <fthain@telegraphics.com.au>]

[-- Attachment #1: powerpc-adopt-arch_nvram_ops --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5215 bytes --]

Switch PPC32 kernels from the generic_nvram module to the nvram module.

Also fix a theoretical bug where CHRP omits the chrp_nvram_init()
call when CONFIG_NVRAM_MODULE=m.

As before, when CONFIG_PPC && !CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET
ioctl is unimplemented. For the nvram module, unimplemented ioctls return
-ENOTTY. Whereas, for the superseded generic_nvram module they would
return -EINVAL.

This ioctl change is visible to userspace code but only in an error path.
I didn't find any userspace code that uses the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl.

The change in the name of the module is also visible. The module that
implements /dev/nvram on PowerPC now has suitable aliases, i.e.
MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(NVRAM_MINOR);
MODULE_ALIAS("devname:nvram"); 
so that the device special file can be automatically created and the
module automatically loaded when needed. Previously this was not the case.
