As far as I know pseries is the only platform that uses DR connectors, and I
highly doubt that any other powerpc platform or arch ever will. So, I'm not sure
that this is really generic enough to belong in topology.h. If anything I would
suggest putting this in an include in arch/powerpc/include/ named something like
drcinfo.h or pseries-drc.h. That will make it visible to modules like rpaphp
that want/need to use this functionality.
