The code as is doesn't make any sense on non-e500 platforms. Restrict it
there, so that people don't get wrong ideas on what would actually work.

This patch should get reverted as soon as it's possible to either run e500
guests on non-e500 hosts or the MPIC emulation gains support for non-e500
modes.

Why?  What actually breaks?

You never answered my earlier question about whether 74xx is  
supported.  MPC86xx is 74xx-derived and has an FSL MPIC.

Plus, as pointed out earlier, this limits allyesconfig build testing.

It broke even compiling, because book3s doesn't provide anything for EPR for example. I fixed up the issues I found, but it's clear that this is an untested configuration.

Heck, even get_current_cpu() has no chance of working on book3s as it is today. I would prefer that anyone who wants to run MPC86xx with in an-kernel MPIC (which is a pure optimization!) just sits down, enables it and reverts this patch.

That's the point. It's code that only ever got tested on e500.
