Re: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Remove powernv RTAS support

The powernv code has some conditional support for running on bare metal
machines that have no OPAL firmware, but provide RTAS.

No released machines ever supported that, and even in the lab it was
just a transitional hack in the days when OPAL was still being
developed.

So remove the code.

The only current place I could think this could be remotely possible
would be in simulator... and we should instead make the OPAL calls work
properly in the simulator for all the RTAS functionality (that we care
about).

In related news.. I should poke the simulator guys.
