[XenPPC] Warning: fix RTC/NVRAM accesses on Maple



Hollis discovered that Linux could not find the ISA bus. It turns out the PIBS ISA information is incorrect, making finding ISA devices in a "documented" way impossible. We are patching linux, I'll be adding a similar work-around on Xen so you can find the UART :)

Hollis's Linux diff is below.

Subject: [patch] fix RTC/NVRAM accesses on Maple

It looks like RTC and NVRAM accesses (including halt/reboot) on Maple
have been broken since January, when an untested build fix went in
("[PATCH] powerpc: Fix Maple build").

PIBS (the firmware on Maple) has a bad "ranges" property for the ISA
bus, which means of_address_to_resource() fails for ISA devices, and
that breaks maple_find_nvram_base() and maple_get_boot_time().

This patch adds ifdefs mid-file, but some were already present anyways,
and I don't see a better way.

Please apply.
