[PATCH] powerpc: Support lower minimum entitlement for virtual processors

Sat Mar 24 08:22:14 EST 2012
This patch changes the architecture vector to advertise support for a
lower minimum virtual processor entitled capacity. The default
minimum without this patch is 10%, this patch specifies 5%. This will
allow 20 LPARs per CPU rather than only 10.
