Hi Ben,

Previous post: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/47249/

I have cleaned up the code from the v1:
http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-February/080630.html

Changes from v1:
* Removed redundant return statements and rearranged code

Description:

A new hcall H_EM_GET_PARMS as been added to obtain power mode data
from the platform.  This data can be used by user space administrative
tools for better power management.

The following patch add data from this new hcall into the lparcfg
driver and exports to user space along with other existing lpar data
in /proc/powerpc/lparcfg

Please review and include in powerpc -next tree.

Thanks,
Vaidy

	powerpc: export data from new hcall H_EM_GET_PARMS

	Add support for H_EM_GET_PARMS hcall that will return data
	related to power modes from the platform.  Export the data
	directly to user space for administrative tools to interpret
	and use.

	cat /proc/powerpc/lparcfg will export power mode data
