Following patchset implements some improvements and cleanup for the
GPT booting code:
patch 1: Simplify the gpt detection code with lesser scopes and add
comments.
patch 2: Introduce 8byte LE helpers: x@-le and x!-le
patch 3: Rename block / read-sector to indicate it a allocated buffer

Given that your previous patch made mispred a bool, this could take a

This patchset enables Nest Instrumentation support on powerpc.
POWER8 has per-chip Nest Intrumentation which provides various
per-chip metrics like memory, powerbus, Xlink and Alink
bandwidth.
Nest Instrumentation provides an interface (via PORE Engine)
to configure and move the nest counter data
Nest Counters can be configured via PORE Engine and OPAL
provides an interface to start/stop it.
OPAL side patches are posted in the skiboot mailing.
