buf_len is uint8_t which is not large enough to hold the result of:
nr_entries * sizeof(struct sPAPRDrconfCellV2) + sizeof(uint32_t);
for a nr_entries greater than 10.
This causes the allocated buffer 'int_buf' to be smaller than expected
and we eventually overwrite some of glibc's control structures (see
"chunk" in https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/MallocInternals)
The following error is seen while trying to free int_buf:
"free(): invalid next size (fast)"

Ouch. That was always bogus, we just got away with it before.
Applied to ppc-for-4.0.
