Since this isn't in a header file, it does not need to be marked
"inline" the compiler will figure it out.

It might be time to create:

arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.h

...there is quite a bit of header material accrued in papr_scm.c and
once the ifdefs start landing in it then it becomes a nominal coding
style issue. That said, this is certainly more palatable than the
previous version. So if you don't want to create papr_scm.h yet for
this, at least make a note in the changelog that the first portion of
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c is effectively papr_scm.h
content and may move there in the future, or something like that.
