The code for p5ioc2 is essentially unused and complicates what is already
a very complicated codebase. Its removal is essentially a "free win" in
the effort to simplify the powernv PCI code.
In addition, support for p5ioc2 has been dropped from skiboot. There's no
reason to keep it around in the kernel.

Yep, it's gone from firmware and there was only ever a handful of
machines inside development labs inside IBM that had it.
We may still have one in the lab, but I agree - it's not worth
maintaining it.
