I started commenting this and it turns out you've used uint32_t almost
everywhere for values you've pulled from the device tree or the elog.
These should be u32.

Perhaps I'm being a bit slow here but it isn't exactly clear what you're
getting with all those variables and could you explain what that
statement below is checking for?

Didn't you already do the endian conversion back in
handle_dlpar_errorlog?

I'm wondering why the next 3 lines when the if could be incorporated
into the for condition
for (i = 0; i < num_lmbs && lmbs_to_add != lmbs_added; i++) {
(or lmbs_to_add < lmbs_added)...

This message feels a tad premature, you're going to roll back if the
requested amount couldn't be added which is good but then there's going
to be a confusing mix of 'hot-added' followed by 'hot-removed'. Could
this message be moved to when you clear the reserved fields?

Writing 1 like that into a __be variable will upset sparse. 

As a more general comment that it might be worth not passing around __be
structures and convert them all into CPU endian in one place so that all
these functions can do away with the endian conversion calls.

Probably wanted to use your local variable drc_index here also
lmbs[i].drc_index is __be and I don't think you've converted it but the
other side of the condition has been...
