    PPC64 add support for the Power non virtualized platform
    
    Thanks to Carl Love for this patch and the following description:
    The Power 8 system can be run as a non-virtualized machine.  In
    this case, the platform is "PowerNV".  This patch adds the platform
    to the possible IBM platform types.
