[PATCH v2 0/6] powerpc/pseries: Move CPU DLPAR into the kernel

[Nathan Fontenot]

To better support CPU hotplug in PowerKVM and PowerVM environments, the
handling of CPU dlpar should be done entirely in the kernel. This will allow
a common entry point to be used for PowerVM and PowerKVM CPU dlpar requests.

For both environments the entry point is the same one introduced in a previous
patch set that moved memory hotplug into the kernel. This entry point accepts
a rtas hotplug event which is either constructed when using the 
/sys/kernel/dlpar interface or is passed to the kernel when handling a
ras epow interrupt.

Note: The patches are based on top of two previous patches I sent out;
