Is there benefit of adding a partition_name field/value pair to lparcfg? The
lparstat utility can just as easily make the get_sysparm call via librtas.
Further, rtas_filters allows this particular RTAS call from userspace.

The RTAS syscall is root-only, but we want the partition name (whether
supplied by RTAS or the device tree) to be available to unprivileged
programs.

Ah, right. I recall this discussion now from previous iterations.
