Nathan Fontenot ab519a011c powerpc/pseries: Kernel DLPAR Infrastructure
The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform
allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI
devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves
removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the
resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call.  To add a resource, it
is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a
new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call
and added to the device tree.

This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named
dlpar.c.  The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource
from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the
ibm,configure-connector rtas call.  Additionally this exports the pSeries
reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree
updates are made.
