[PATCH 07/15] ps3flash: Refuse to work in lpars other than OtherOS

[Andre Heider]

The driver implements a character and misc device, meant for the
axed OtherOS to exchange various settings with GameOS.
Since Firmware 3.21 there is no GameOS support anymore to write these
settings, so limit the driver to the OtherOS environment.
