powerpc/pseries: Revert support for ibm,drc-info devtree property
This reverts commit 02ef6dd8. The earlier patch tried to enable support for a new property "ibm,drc-info" on powerpc systems. Unfortunately, some errors in the associated patch set break things in some of the DLPAR operations. In particular when attempting to hot-add a new CPU or set of CPUs, the original patch failed to properly calculate the available resources, and aborted the operation. In addition, the original set missed several opportunities to compress and reuse common code. As the associated patch set was meant to provide an optimization of storage and performance of a set of device-tree properties for future systems with large amounts of resources, reverting just restores the previous behavior for existing systems. It seems unnecessary to enable this feature and introduce the consequent problems in the field that it will cause at this time, so please revert it for now until testing of the corrections are finished properly.
