Subject: [PATCH][v2] powerpc: Support lower minimum entitlement for virtual processors
Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 13:55:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120510185549.GA12304@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 1%.
Signed-off-by: Robert Jennings <rcj@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
---
Dropped minimum to 1% and tested to ensure that pHYP handled this properly.
