Frankly speaking, the comment above when read in isolation; i.e without
the delete code above, feels out of place. The reasoning for change is
anyway captured in the changelog. So, I think, we should delete this
comment.
Also the comment above assumes the Ultravisor will call H_SVM_INIT_ABORT
with SRR1(S) bit not set; which may or may not be true. Regardless of
who and how H_SVM_INIT_ABORT is called, we should just call
kvmppc_h_svm_init_abort() and let it deal with the complexities.
