powerpc/nvdimm: Add support for multibyte read/write for metadata
SCM_READ/WRITE_MEATADATA hcall supports multibyte read/write. This patch updates the metadata read/write to use 1, 2, 4 or 8 byte read/write as mentioned in PAPR document. READ/WRITE_METADATA hcall supports the 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes read/write. For other values hcall results H_P3. Hypervisor stores the metadata contents in big-endian format and in-order to enable read/write in different granularity, we need to switch the contents to big-endian before calling HCALL.
