The Processor Identification Register (PIR) is a register that holds a
processor identifier which is used for bus transactions (XSCOM) and
for processor differentiation in multiprocessor systems. It also used
in the interrupt vector entries (IVE) to identify the thread serving
the interrupts.
P9 and P8 have some differences in the CPU PIR encoding.

This will be used to build real HW ids for the cores and enforce some
limits on the available cores per chip.

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.

The goal is to emulate a PowerNV system at the level of the skiboot
firmware, which loads the OS and provides some runtime services. Power
Systems have a lower firmware (HostBoot) that does low level system
initialization, like DRAM training. This is beyond the scope of what
qemu will address in a PowerNV guest.
No devices yet, not even an interrupt controller. Just to get started,
some RAM to load the skiboot firmware, the kernel and initrd. The
device tree is fully created in the machine reset op.
