Hi Ben, hello to other folks too, 

Milton made a similar comment via IRC.

I am likely blending the rtas/hcall terminology in a bad way, but will
clarify what I was thinking so someone can correct me.  :-)

The lparcfg function is named log_plpar_hcall_return(), taking a hcall
return value and a string, and outputs a human-readable error message
that corresponds to that return value.  

There is no hcall.c that this function would belong in.  HvCall.S and
plpar_wrappers.h contain wrappers and the assembly code that does the
actual calls; but neither of those places look like good candidates for
this function.   
The file rtas.c, however, does make some plpar_hcall function calls, and
has a number of the 900# magic numbers that *look* like the H_* defines
to me.
