Yes, it can fail. If pseries_suspend() fails, all VAS windows will be
reopened again without migration. vas_migration_handler(VAS_RESUME) is
called whether pseries_suspend() returns 0 or not.

Should not be, If the DLPAR event happens while migration is in
progress, windows will be closed in the hypervisor (and mark inactive
with migration status bit in OS) for migration. For DLPAR event, mark
the DLPAR_CLOSED status bits for the necessary windows. Then after the
migration, we open windows in the hypervisor and set them active in OS
that have only migration status. Open the other remaining windows only
after the other DLPAR core add event. 

Regarding the traget credits on the destination, we get the new
capabilities after migration and use the new value for reopen. 

Ex: Used the following test case -
- Configuted 2 dedicated cores (40 credits) and exeuted the test case
which opened 35 credits / windows
- Removed 1 core, means available 20 credits. So closed 15 windows and
set them with DLPAR closed status
- Migration start: Closed the remaining 20 windows and set all windows
(means 35) migration status
- After migration, opened windows that have only migration status - 20
windows, and also clear migration stats for the remaining 15 widnows
- Add core which gives the system 20 more credits, So opened the
remaining 15 windows and these have only DLPAR closed status.

Adding 2 different status bits to support DLPAR and LPM closed staus.
As I mentioned above, windows will be active only after both bits are
cleared.
