[RFC PATCH v1] powerpc/prom_init: disable XIVE in Secure VM.

XIVE is not correctly enabled for Secure VM in the KVM Hypervisor yet.

Hence Secure VM, must always default to XICS interrupt controller.

If XIVE is requested through kernel command line option "xive=on",
override and turn it off.

If XIVE is the only supported platform interrupt controller; specified
through qemu option "ic-mode=xive", simply abort. Otherwise default to
XICS.
