(PDT)
This patch adds full support to read PDT info on all machine types. At bootup
the PDT is read and bad memory excluded from usage via memblock_reserve().
Later in the boot process a kernel thread is started (kpdtd) which regularily
checks firmare for new reported bad memory and tries to soft offline pages in
case of correctable errors and to kill processes and exclude such memory in
case of uncorrectable errors via memory_failure().

The Page Deallocation Table (PDT) holds the physical addresses of all broken
memory addresses. With the physical address we now are able to show which DIMM
slot (e.g. 1a, 3c) actually holds the broken memory module so that users are
able to replace it.

Commit c9c2877d08d9 ("parisc: Add Page Deallocation Table (PDT) support")
introduced the pdc_pat_mem_read_pd_pdt() firmware helper function, which
crashed the system because it trashed the stack if the
pdc_pat_mem_read_pd_retinfo struct was located on the stack (and which is
in size less than the required 32 64-bit values).
Fix it by using the pdc_result struct instead when calling firmware and copy
the return values back into the result struct when finished sucessfully.
While debugging this code I noticed that the pdc_type wasn't set correctly
either, so let's fix that too.

The firmare in most parisc machines maintains a Page Deallocation Table (PDT)
which holds a list of physical memory addresses where hardware detected memory
errors (single bit and double bit errors).
This patch adds the missing PDC firmware calls and the logic to read the PDT
from firmware, report all current PDT entries and exclude the reported bad
memory from being used by Linux.
