Commit b76fafb174d2 ("eal: fix IOVA mode selection as VA for PCI drivers") breaks ppc apps with no IOVA configs (or RTE_IOVA_DC) because of the inconsistency of user's request and the result of device capability for IOVA mode. I updated the code to force IOVA as PA in ppc as before because current ppc driver does not support VA mode.Theoretically, ppc can support VA mode, but I suspect that ppc with VA mode may have performance issues to create a big DMA window (VA often uses higher addresses than PA). So, I didn't change the code to check device capability in ppc.

I would have preferred a space between #endif and a new #ifdef, but otherwise
