Arguably "cpus" here should be "secondary threads" to make the commit

Please provide a better explanation if what this is about, maybe a
commend describing the device-tree property. Also those macros have
names too likely to collide or be confused with other uses. Use
something a bit less ambiguous such as OPAL_PM_NAP_AVAILABLE,
OPAL_PM_SLEEP_ENABLED,...

Also put that in the part of opal.h that isn't the linux internal
implementation, but instead the "API" part. This will help when we
finally split the file.

This somewhat duplicates the opal.h definitions, can't we just re-use
them ?

Will this be used by a module ? Doesn't it need to be exported ? Also
keep the prefix pnv on the variable, I don't like globals with such a
confusing name.
