Move the m68k-specific code elsewhere to make the driver generic.
Change the vmode calculation from logical OR to bitwise OR, since it is
obviously wrong.

The generic NVRAM module, drivers/char/generic_nvram, implements a
/dev/nvram misc device. It is used only by 32-bit PowerPC platforms and
isn't generic enough to be more widely used.
The RTC NVRAM module, drivers/char/nvram, also implements a /dev/nvram
misc device. It is used by x86, ARM and m6

By implementing an arch_nvram_ops struct, any platform can re-use the
