pseries/pseries: Add code to online/offline CPUs of a DLPAR node
Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation on pSeries is a
two step process from the Userspace.
- Set the indicators and update the device tree by writing to the sysfs
tunable "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation.
- Online / Offline the CPUs of the allocated/would_be_deallocated node by
writing to the sysfs tunable "online".
This patch adds kernel code to online/offline the CPUs soon_after/just_before
they have been allocated/would_be_deallocated. This way, the userspace tool
that performs DLPAR operations would only have to deal with one set of sysfs
tunables namely "probe" and release".
