Add LED to system boot to indicate 'dump still running'

When system is on it way UP and going thru the "system dump". The LPAR status will show "Running"
not "Dump in progress".
That is why it can cause confusion with our data center when system is not responding from console or any remote connection yet HMC shows its "Running" our Grp normally resort to recover the system and reset/dump the LPAR again. Without going thru all the HMC service events, its difficult to make this assessment. .

This PMR request is to make HMC status shows that "dumping still happening" and it should show that in REF code or status.

    This requirement is to be addressed by AIX changes to log FWAD progress indicators more frequently to ensure the right reference code depicting the current system status gets reported on the HMC.
