* Ultravisor-capable bit (PowerNV only).
*
* Bit 0 indicates that the powerpc kernel binary knows how to run in an
* ultravisor-enabled system.
*
* In an ultravisor-enabled system, some machine resources are now controlled
* by the ultravisor. If the kernel is not ultravisor-capable, but it ends up
* being run on a machine with ultravisor, the kernel will probably crash
* trying to access ultravisor resources. For instance, it may crash in early
* boot trying to set the partition table entry 0.
*
* In an ultravisor-enabled system, a bootloader could warn the user or prevent
* the kernel from being run if the PowerPC ultravisor capability doesn't exist
* or the Ultravisor-capable bit is not set.
