So this is partial fix for the cases where there is no qeth/ctc
device, ie. PCI only LPAR & z/VM or KVM virtual machines. In such
cases we shouldn't bother the user with pointless questions. If there
is e.g. PCI and qeth network cards, and user doesn't want to
configure qeth card, one cannot skip doing that. I think we should
introduce "Finish" or "Skip" option similar to what is proposed in
the patch from Viktor as "other".
