Hello:
    I would like to pull / defer further consideration of this patch set
for a while.  I will be discussing changes here with respect to the
LMB optimizations that Nathan Fontenot is working upon.
    A revision of this patch set will be sent out somewhat later.
Thanks for your attention and assistance.

Michael

The migration of LPARs across Power systems affects many attributes
including that of the associativity of memory blocks and CPUs.  The
patches in this set execute when a system is coming up fresh upon a
migration target.  They are intended to,

* Recognize changes to the associativity of memory and CPUs recorded
  in internal data structures when compared to the latest copies in
  the device tree (e.g. ibm,dynamic-memory, ibm,dynamic-memory-v2,
  cpus),
* Recognize changes to the associativity mapping (e.g. ibm,
  associativity-lookup-arrays), locate all assigned memory blocks
  corresponding to each changed row, and readd all such blocks.
* Generate calls to other code layers to reset the data structures
  related to associativity of the CPUs and memory.
* Re-register the 'changed' entities into the target system.
  Re-registration of CPUs and memory blocks mostly entails acting as
  if they have been newly hot-added into the target system.
