To test for the existence of an RTAS function, we typically do:

   foo_token = rtas_token("foo");
   if (foo_token == RTAS_UNKNOWN_SERVICE)
      return;

Add a rtas_service_present method, which provides a more conventional
boolean interface for testing the existence of an RTAS method.

I like it a lot ..

But should it be called rtas_token_present() ? :D
I considered that, but thought my name was a little more descriptive
-- a token is merely an integer value, but we're really interested in
whether the service named is available.

I don't really care that much either way, though :)
