Description
A new resource needs to be created to allow for the creation of the "SQL Server Power Pivot Service Application" needed to enable PowerPivot in a farm.
The whole process is documented on TechNet but this doesn't include the PowerShell cmdlets. It's also worth calling out that this resource should just do the service application, not the installation of any prerequisites on to the server (the Package resource should be able to do this).

Research direction
Start with the linked TechNet documentation and identify the PowerShell cmdlets needed to create the SQL Server Power Pivot Service Application. Define the resource around service-application creation only; prerequisites and server installation are explicitly out of scope. Done means the resource can create that service application without managing those prerequisites.
