[PATCH] ppc64: tidy up vio devices fake parent

Hi Andrew,

Currently we dynamically allocate the fake parent device for all devices
on the vio bus.  This patch statically allocates it.  This also allows us
to reuse it for the iSeries "generic" vio device (that is used for passing
to dma routines when communicating with the hypervisor without a device
involved).  Also unexport vio_bus_type as it is never used in modules.
