Milton Miller ed7b2144bc powerpc: Find and destroy possible stale kernel added properties
64 bit powerpc requires the kexec user space tools avoid overwriting
the static kernel image and translation hash table when choosing
where to put memory image data because it copies the data into place
using the kernels virtual memory system.  Kexec userspace determines
these and other areas blocked by reading properties the kernel adds,
but does not filter these properties when creating the device tree
for the next kernel.

When the second kernel tries to add its values for these properties,
the export via /proc/device-tree is hidden by the pre-existing but
stale values from the flat tree.  Kexec userspace reads the old
property, allocates the new kernel at the old kernel's end, and
gets rejected by the overlap check.

Search and remove these stale properties before adding the new values.
