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 negotiated during CAS, and ignore xive=off if the hypervisor only
supports XIVE.
