Scalability for lsdevinfo when there are a large number of devices in the ODM

lsdevinfo can take a long time to run >30 minutes in large configurations. This impacts the HMC in several areas.

The command lsdevinfo is not used by lshwres alone but by many other functions on HMC including the UI, REST API, PowerVM, NEO... Having lsdevino running for more than couple minutes, even for a few lpar, is a performance hit for many functions on HMC like the GUI, Cloud, PowerVM, Neo.
