Remove the function ps3_repository_write_highmem_info() that is not used anywhere.
NAK

ps3_repository_write_highmem_info() is needed by otheros++.  What we
need is a kernel patch to add the highmem info to the repository once it
is known.

These ps3_repository_write_highmem routines are also the only
documentation the freeBSD port has as to how the highmem info is (should
be) saved in the repository.

Yes, we really need this for FreeBSD since that port uses the repository 
directly instead of FDT. Thanks for noticing this. We could adapt 
FreeBSD to use FDT (this is the only non-device-tree PowerPC port), but 
there hasn't been any reason to do that thus far given the availability 
of the repository information.
