On POWER9, if the hypervisor supports XIVE exploitation mode, the guest OS
will unconditionally requests for the XIVE interrupt mode even if XIVE was
deactivated with the kernel command line xive=off. Later on, when the spapr
XIVE init code handles xive=off, it disables XIVE and tries to fall back on
the legacy mode XICS.
This discrepency causes a kernel panic because the hypervisor is configured
to provide the XIVE interrupt mode to the guest :

Look for xive=off during prom_init and don't ask for XIVE in this case. One
exception though: if the host only supports XIVE, we still want to boot so
we ignore xive=off.
Similarly, have the spapr XIVE init code to looking at the interrupt mode
negociated during CAS, and ignore xive=off if the hypervisor only supports
XIVE.

eac1e731b59e is a v4.16 commit actually but this patch only applies
cleanly to v4.20 and newer. If needed I can send a backport for
older versions.
