Of course ! I re-used the wording "extended a base type" of your sentence,
that I understand as "a subtype extends a base type with some more data".
I'm talking about the sPAPR ICS subtype here, not the base ICS type.

Exactly, so that's why I was thinking about adding nr_servers there,
but it could go to XICSFabric as well I guess.
