Subject[PATCH v2 RESEND 1/2] x86/UV: Introduce a helper function to check UV system at earlier stage
Date
The BIOS on SGI UV system will report a UV system table which describes
specific firmware capabilities available to the Linux kernel at runtime.
This UV system table only exists on SGI UV system. And it's detected
in efi_init() which is at very early stage.

So introduce a new helper function is_early_uv_system() to identify if
a system is UV system. Later we will use it to check if the running
system is UV system in mm KASLR code.
