This also seems really awkward. Specifically it seems like a rather
arbitrary and complex division of what qemu's responsible for and what
SLOF is responsible for.
Instead I'd suggest that we add an H_INSTANTIATE_RTAS hcall, and we
move the loading of the spapr-rtas blob from normal reset to when that
hcall is invoked.
