Write to HVC terminal from purgatory code

Current x86/x86-64 kexec-tools print the message "I'm in purgatory" to
serial console/VGA while executing the purgatory code.  Implement this
feature for POWERPC pseries platform by using the H_PUT_TERM_CHAR
hypervisor call by printng to hvc console.

This change seems reasonable to me, can any of the ppc people offer a
review?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this patch is tested on POWER5 (under 
hypervisor) and POWER4 Full System partition mode (under non-hypervisor)
