NVRAMs on different platforms and architectures have different attributes
and access methods. E.g. some platforms have byte-at-a-time accessor
functions while others have byte-range accessor functions. Some have
checksum functionality while others do not. By calling ops struct methods
via the common wrapper functions, the nvram module and other drivers can
make use of the available NVRAM functionality in a portable way.

It might be nice if the NVRAM Kconfig symbol depended only on
HAVE_ARCH_NVRAM_OPS and all the x86 code here were moved to arch/x86.
This driver would then be more "generic". However, that x86 code would
have to be built-in when used by thinkpad_acpi or else a new module
would have to be added to arch/x86 too. Better to avoid that bloat
because most x86 platforms won't benefit.
Changed since v8:
- Added kernel-doc comment describing the nvram_ops methods.
- Renamed static nvram_* functions to avoid name collisions.
- Converted arch_nvram_ops method calls to nvram.h wrapper function calls.
