Hi Nathan !

Finally I get to review this stuff :-)

So I'm not a huge fan of this workarea static. First a static is in
effect a global name (as far as System.map etc... are concerned) so it
would warrant a better name. Then, do we really want that 4K of BSS
taken even on platforms that don't do dlpar ? Any reason why you don't
just pop a free page with __get_free_page() inside of
configure_connector() ?

const char* maybe ?

I'm wondering whether work_area should be a struct cc_workarea * in the
first place with a char data[] at the end, but that would mean probably
tweaking the offsets... no big deal, up to you.

kstrdup ?

It's a global exported function, I'd rather you call it
dlpar_configure_connector()

Popping a free page with gfp (or just kmalloc'ing 4K) would avoid the
need for the lock too.

 ... should probably all go to something like drivers/of/dynamic.c or at
least for now arch/powerpc/kernel/of_dynamic.c along with everything
related to dynamically adding and removing nodes. I see that potentially
useful for more than just DLPAR (though DLPAR is the only user right
now) and should also all be prefixed with of_*

Both above should have a dlpar_* prefix
