With 'vm' entry added for hypervisor mode, the 'reg' address range needs 
to be updated to use channel specific region only. This is used to 
inform driver to skip global regions which is taken care by hypervisor. 
This is expected to be used in the scenario where Linux acts as a 
virtual machine (VM). May be the hypervisor mode gives a different 
impression here? Sorry, I did not understand what dropping the property 
exactly means here.
