Need to remove existing tables and content about this driver in the trunk repo.

For older repos, need to add a note about the "dead end" nature of the driver.

Regarding the note about the "dead end" nature of the driver in older repos, do you think it is enough to add the clarification in the specific PowerVM page (http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/openstack-compute/admin/content/powervm.html) or every time PowerVM is mentioned?
