misc: IBM Virtual Management Channel Driver (VMC)
This driver is a logical device which provides an interface between the hypervisor and a management partition. This interface is like a message passing interface. This management partition is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based system management. VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic logical partition functions: - Logical Partition Configuration - Boot, start, and stop actions for individual partitions - Display of partition status - Management of virtual Ethernet - Management of virtual Storage - Basic system management This driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC platform. It provides a character device which allows for both request/response and async message support through the /dev/ibmvmc node. Signed-off-by:Bryant G. Ly <bryantly@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by:
