In this particular case the calls act on a "power domain" which isn't
actually modeled in QEMU (we just assume a single "live-insertion" domain
which just magically does everything we want), so I think it makes
sense to leave these here.

But for the others it does make sense to tie them with spapr_drc.c, or
maybe spapr_drc_rtas.c to maintain the encapsulation of DRC state behind
well-defined accessors.
