Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Support lower minimum entitlement for virtual processors
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:22:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120323212213.GB9456@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

This patch changes the architecture vector to advertise support for a
lower minimum virtual processor entitled capacity.  The default
minimum without this patch is 10%, this patch specifies 5%.  This will
allow 20 LPARs per CPU rather than only 10.
