Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/prom_init: Replace linux,sml-base/sml-size with linux,sml-log

linux,sml-base holds the address of a buffer with the TPM log. This
buffer may become invalid after a kexec and therefore embed the whole TPM
log in linux,sml-log. This helps to protect the log since it is properly
carried across a kexec with both of the kexec syscalls.
