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.

Hi Nathan !

Finally I get to review this stuff :-)

Thanks!

+#define CFG_CONN_WORK_SIZE	4096
+static char workarea[CFG_CONN_WORK_SIZE];
+static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(workarea_lock);

So I'm not a huge fan of this workarea static. First a static is in
effect a global name (as far as System.map etc... are concerned) so it
would warrant a better name. Then, do we really want that 4K of BSS
taken even on platforms that don't do dlpar ? Any reason why you don't
just pop a free page with __get_free_page() inside of
configure_connector() ?

I'm not either, having a static buffer and a lock feels like overkill
for this.  I tried kmalloc, but that didn't work.  I'll try using
__get_free_page.

const char* maybe ?

sure.

I'm wondering whether work_area should be a struct cc_workarea * in the
first place with a char data[] at the end, but that would mean probably
tweaking the offsets... no big deal, up to you.

I'll look onto that.  Anything that makes this easier to understand is good.

kstrdup ?

yep, should have used kstrdup.

It's a global exported function, I'd rather you call it

Popping a free page with gfp (or just kmalloc'ing 4K) would avoid the
need for the lock too.

yes, see comment at beginning.

 ... should probably all go to something like drivers/of/dynamic.c or at
least for now arch/powerpc/kernel/of_dynamic.c along with everything
related to dynamically adding and removing nodes. I see that potentially
useful for more than just DLPAR (though DLPAR is the only user right
now) and should also all be prefixed with of_*

I agree, there should be at least a powerpc generic implementation of these
routines.  The reason I put them here is that I am doing some oddities with
the next, child, and sibling pointers since they point to items not yet in
the device tree.

I saw that Grant Likely is doing updates to all of the of_* stuff right now,
would it be ok to have these routines here, renamed as dlpar_*, and look
to merge them in with Grant's updates when he finishes?

Both above should have a dlpar_* prefix

will do.

What the point ? :-)

Yeah, its a bit odd looking but later patches actually add code to the init routine
to set up memory probe/release and cpu probe/release handlers.

I'll look to add ifdef's around the initcall for cases where no work is to be done.
