This happens if you either use SLOF with an older version of QEMU, or
start a recent QEMU with an older machine type, e.g. "-M pseries-2.1".
That means, we've still got to support this for running older VMs on
current QEMU.

We've got to avoid to create that fake "pci-next-mem" region to be
able to check pci-next-mem != 0 here. Shall I respin the patch
and elaborate this in the commit message?

Run QEMU with "-M pseries-2.1"
