Given that it is in octeon-stubs.h, it seems that the point is to get the
code to compile when COMPILE_TEST is set. There is a real definition in
arch/mips/include/asm/octeon/cvmx-pko.h

Oh yeah... Duh. I saw that it was in stubs but I just assumed that it
was stubs for something which was never implemented or left over code...

My bad.
