Great suggestion Dan and incidently we are already working on a patchset
to reconcile this by moving a bunch of these defines from papr_scm.c to a
header. That work is primarily done to towards remove the redundancy
between papr_scm and generic ndtest module that we have today. We will
post the patches in next few days.
