[PATCH 06/16 v3] powerpc: Utilities to set firmware page state

Robert Jennings rcj at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Fri Jul 4 22:53:09 EST 2008


From: Brian King <brking at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Newer versions of firmware support page states, which are used by the
collaborative memory manager (future patch) to "loan" pages to the
hypervisor for use by other partitions.
