The PAPR based virtualized persistent memory devices are only supported on
POWER9 and above. In the followup patch, the kernel will switch the persistent
memory cache flush functions to use a new `dcbf` variant instruction. The new
instructions even though added in ISA 3.1 works even on P8 and P9 because these
are implemented as a variant of existing `dcbf` and `hwsync` and on P8 and
P9 behaves as such.

Considering these devices are only supported on P8 and above,  update the driver
to prevent a P7-compat guest from using persistent memory devices.

We don't update of_pmem driver with the same condition, because, on bare-metal,
the firmware enables pmem support only on P9 and above. There the kernel depends
on OPAL firmware to restrict exposing persistent memory related device tree
entries on older hardware. of_pmem.ko is written without any arch dependency and
we don't want to add ppc64 specific cpu feature check in of_pmem driver.
