This seems to change the value reported for pool_capacity radically:

On a Power6 partition here with your patch series applied, I see

pool_capacity=3277200

in /proc/ppc64/lparcfg.  Without your patches, I get

pool_capacity=400
pool_idle_time=0
pool_num_procs=0

This looks like an incompatible user-visible change to me, and we
haven't even changed the lparcfg version number at the beginning of
the /proc/ppc64/lparcfg output.  Why is the pool_capacity so
different, and why do the pool_idle_time and pool_num_procs lines
disappear?

Regards,
Paul.
