cpu: Handle only high order 16 bits of PVR for IBM Power processors

IBM Power processors encode PVR as CPU family in higher
16 bits and a CPU version in lower 16 bits. Since there is no significant
change in behavior between versions, there is no point to add every single
CPU version in cpu_map.xml
