[PATCH v2 6/8] powerpc/pseries: Distinguish between a os-partition and non-os partition

From: Aruna Balakrishnaiah <hidden>
Date: 2013-04-24 06:21:17
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

Introduce os_partition member in nvram_os_partition structure to identify
if the partition is an os partition or not. This will be useful to handle
non-os partitions of-config and common.
