I'm wondering how the memory hot un-plug is initiated on the pseries.
Could you tell me about this HMC? Is it an application running in
the lpar, or is it an external entity?
Is there a 'standard' interface from userspace that can be used to
trigger the hot-unplug sequence? I'm asking because PS3's lv1
hypervisor supports hot un-plug of memory, but it would need to be
triggered from some kind of management application running in in
userspace.
