I'm still not sure this is what we want. Looking at the topology updating
code, we only enable VPHN if PRRN is not present.

My understanding of the current situation is that the node for partitions
with shared cpus are not set. The reason for this is that the device tree
presented to a partition using shared cpus at boot puts all cpus in node
zero and then uses the VPHN capability to inform the partition which node
each cpu really belongs to.

Additionally, I think this is how DLPAR of shared cpu partitions work.
After the cpu is DLPAR added we should get a VPHN notification to inform
us of the true node that the cpu belongs to.

When the PRRN capability was introduced it was thought to be a follow-on
to the VPHN capability and so the code to start topology updating only
enables VPHN if PRRN is not present. I think what we need to do is always
enable VPHN for shared cpu partitions.
