Again (:-) pleaaaaase.... a better changeset description. In fact this
one is actually incorrect, this is not a partition.

Something like "The processor requires the MMU mode (radix vs. hash) of
the hypervisor to be mirrored in the LPCR register, in addition to the
partition table, so as to avoid fetching from the table when deciding,
among other things, how to perform transitions to HV mode on some
interrupts. So let's set it up appropriately".

Cheers,
Ben.
