[XenPPC] [PATCH] Warn instead of fail on device_type fetch fail

[Amos Waterland <apw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The latest release of SLOF is missing mandatory "device_type" nodes for
both ISA and system-controller (which are both busses).  Until this is
fixed, Xen fails to boot on that release of SLOF.  So work around it by
just printing a warning instead of a panic.
