HVPIPE is a new feature and is docucmented in new version of PAPR.
This feature is available only on powerpc and not applicable to other
archs. Following the same interfaces available in the existing misc
driver code for RTAS calls such as ibm,get/set-system-parameter (papr-
sysparm.c), ibm,get-indices, ibm,get-dynamic-sensor (papr-indices.c)
and etc.

I did test with checkpatch and did not notices any issues. Also seeing
with proper tab spaces. Will check again.
