    powerpc/pseries: Partition migration in the kernel · 410bccf9
    Nathan Fontenot authored
    Enable partition migration in the kernel.  To do this a new sysfs file,
    /sys/kernel/mobility/migration, is created.  In order to initiate a migration
    the stream id (generated by the HMC managing the system) is written to this
    file.
    
    After a migration occurs, and what is the majority of this code, the device
    tree needs to be updated for the new system the partition is running on. This
    is done via the ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties rtas calls which
    return information regarding which nodes and properties of the device tree
    are to be added/removed/updated.
