The pSeries machine never bothered with the common machine->fdt attribute. We do all the FDT related work using spapr->fdt_blob.
We're going to introduce HMP commands to read and save the FDT, which will rely on setting machine->fdt properly to work across all machine archs/types. Let's set machine->fdt in two places where we manipulate the FDT: spapr_machine_reset() and CAS. There are other places where the FDT is manipulated in the pSeries machines, most notably the hotplug/unplug path. For now we'll acknowledge that we won't have the most accurate representation of the FDT, depending on the current machine state, when using these QMP/HMP fdt commands. Making the internal FDT representation always match the actual FDT representation that the guest is using is a problem for another day. spapr->fdt_blob is left untouched for now. To replace it with machine->fdt, since we're migrating spapr->fdt_blob, we would need to migrate machine->fdt as well. This is something that we would like to to do keep our code simpler but it's also a work we'll leave for later.
