Right, but doesn't the hypervisor have to know which of the 8 ATSD registers 
to pass through to mmap to the guest? Only one of them gets mapped to the LPAR 
in opal_npu_map_lpar(), so how do you work out which one to mmap?

I could of course review things in a more timely and consistent manner :-)

I thought it was ok but after re-reading the discussion I'm less convinced 
again.
