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.
