The migration of LPARs across Power systems affects many attributes
including that of the associativity of memory blocks and CPUs. The
patches in this set execute when a system is coming up fresh upon a
migration target. They are intended to,
* Recognize changes to the associativity of memory and CPUs recorded
in internal data structures when compared to the latest copies in
the device tree (e.g. ibm,dynamic-memory, ibm,dynamic-memory-v2,
cpus),
* Recognize changes to the associativity mapping (e.g. ibm,
associativity-lookup-arrays), locate all assigned memory blocks
corresponding to each changed row, and readd all such blocks.
* Generate calls to other code layers to reset the data structures
related to associativity of the CPUs and memory.
* Re-register the 'changed' entities into the target system.
Re-registration of CPUs and memory blocks mostly entails acting as
if they have been newly hot-added into the target system.
