Revert incorrect offb ppc64el "fix"

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

This revert went into 3.16, it hasn't hit 3.13-stable yet (though it will).

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=68986c9f0f4552c34c248501eb0c690553866d6e

Note that with *current* powerkvm, this will cause the console colors to be wrong (again), at least until
we release the service pack which will correctly fix the problem on KVM side. If you don't apply the above
revert, then the colors will be wrong with the new powerkvm..

We have to do the fix on our side otherwise X won't work properly. Additionally the "hack" that this reverts was never
going to work in a "pure" LE/LE environment so we have no choice but bite the bullet and do the right fix.

Log aren't useful, this has to do with color artifacts on the screen. The problem has already been fully diagnosed and fixed upstream.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

The offb fix worked, but something else broke ... USB keyboard doesn't
work anymore. Not sure what's up yet as I can't log into the guest, I'll
have to dig further.

Did you apply any other USB related change since -029 ?

Cheers,
Ben.
