OPAL_GET_POWERCAP
==================
The OPAL_GET_POWERCAP call retreives current information on the power
cap.

For each entity that can be power capped, the device tree
binding indicates what handle should be passed for each of the power cap
properties (minimum possible, maximum possible, current powercap).

The current power cap must be between the minimium possible and maximum
possible power cap. The minimum and maximum values are dynamic to allow
for them possibly being changed by other factors or entities
(e.g. service processor).

The call can be asynchronus, where the token parameter is used to wait
for the completion.

Parameters
----------

=== ======
=== ======
u32 handle
int token
u32 \*pcap
=== ======

Returns
-------

OPAL_SUCCESS
  Success

OPAL_PARAMETER
  Invalid pcap pointer

OPAL_UNSUPPORTED
  No support for reading powercap sensor

OPAL_HARDWARE
  Unable to procced due to the current hardware state

OPAL_ASYNC_COMPLETION
  Request was sent and an async completion message will be sent with
  token and status of the request.

OPAL_SET_POWERCAP
============================
The OPAL_SET_POWERCAP call sets a power cap.

For each entity that can be power capped, the device tree
binding indicates what handle should be passed for each of the power cap
properties (minimum possible, maximum possible, current powercap).

The current power cap must be between the minimium possible and maximum
possible power cap.

You cannot currently set the minimum or maximum power cap, and thus
OPAL_PERMISSION will be returned if it is attempted to set. In the
future, this may change - but for now, the correct behaviour for an
Operating System is to not attempt to set them.

Parameters
----------
::
        u32 handle
        int token
        u32 pcap

Returns
-------
OPAL_SUCCESS
  Success

OPAL_PARAMETER
  Invalid powercap requested beyond powercap limits

OPAL_UNSUPPORTED
  No support for changing the powercap

OPAL_PERMISSION
  Hardware cannot take the request

OPAL_ASYNC_COMPLETION
  Request was sent and an async completion message will be sent with
  token and status of the request.

OPAL_HARDWARE
  Unable to procced due to the current hardware state

OPAL_BUSY
  Previous request in progress

OPAL_INTERNAL_ERROR
  Error in request response

OPAL_TIMEOUT
  Timeout in request completion
