The ofono plugin is actual 'phonesim', and AFAIK is used primarily for 
Dialer/Messaging app AP testing.

I discussed this via IRC with rsalveti, and the options I gave him were:

1. If possible, turn off the mobile-data setting for the 
dialer/messaging AP tests, this should prevent NM from trying to do 
anything with ofono's GPRS API.

2. Modify phonesim config logic to honor a new 'gprs=on/off' switch, and 
then ship a default conf file with the archive version of ofono ( or 
deploy the conf file somewhere in the test images, where it'd be 
automatically read by ofono ).

3. Disable GPRs in phonesim
