In this case we were not properly marking pages as 'loaned' to firmware. To fix this I exposed some data pulled from rtas during early setup. I also made these values available via /proc/ppc64/lparcfg in the second patch. The first patch makes the data available and the other two patches (unrelated to each other) depend on the first.
