The pSeries machine never bothered with the common machine->fdt
attribute. We do all the FDT related work using spapr->fdt_blob.
We're going to introduce a QMP/HMP command to dump the FDT, which will
rely on setting machine->fdt properly to work across all machine
archs/types.
Let's set machine->fdt in two places where we manipulate the FDT:
spapr_machine_reset() and CAS. There are other places where the FDT is
manipulated in the pSeries machines, most notably the hotplug/unplug
path. For now we'll acknowledge that we won't have the most accurate
representation of the FDT, depending on the current machine state, when
using this QMP/HMP fdt command. Making the internal FDT representation
always match the actual FDT representation that the guest is using is a
problem for another day.
spapr->fdt_blob is left untouched for now. To replace it with
machine->fdt, since we're migrating spapr->fdt_blob, we would need to
migrate machine->fdt as well. This is something that we would like to to
do keep our code simpler but it's also a work we'll leave for later.
