- Update to 1.2.16
 * The drmgr command does not currently allow users to specify the 
    drc index of the resource they wish to add/remove. This patch 
    updates the drmgr command so that users can specify either a 
    drc name or a drc index with the -s option.
    
 * This functionality is needed for the upcoming userspace handling 
    of PRRN RTAS events. The rtas_errd will already have the drc 
    index for the resources it needs, adding the capability to 
    parse drc names from the device tree is not supported in 
    rtas_errd though.
 * Update the man page for update_flash which had an out of date link
    to instructions for resetting a managed system to a non-partitioned
    configuration.
 * The upstream kernel has a feature in the pseries PCI code called DDW
    that inserts TCEs transparently to device drivers. The upstream kernel
    was recently sent a fix for DLPAR that ensured those TCEs would get
    cleared upon DLPAR remove (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/213735/),
    but for it to work, we need a corresponding change to drmgr for, at
    least, PHB remove, so that the notifier chain has fired before we call
    into the slot isolate code. Without such a change, there is no way to
    ensure the DDW TCEs are cleared, and the DLPAR will always fail.
 * Add and use dt_swap_int() to byte swap on little endian.
    
 * Also declare buf as unsigned char, so that we don't sign extend when
    printing values from it.

- Update to 1.2.15
  * The frequency determination for a system can fail if we can not 
    open enough files to make the determination. This patch 
    pre-emptively updates the rlimit to ensure we can open all the 
    files necessary.
  * The latest firmware levels allow for setting different power 
    savings modes. This updates the ppc64_cpu command to display 
    the power savings mode that is currently set for the partition, 
    or for the partition and the system if they are different, 
    when displaying the results for the --frequency option.
  * Add support to convert device-mapper multipath device names to 
    OFW device path.
    As multipath devices are seen by the OFW as multiple 
    (equivalent) devices, only one of them is printed so we don't 
    break user scripts expecting one line output. We can add an 
    option later to print all the paths to the multipath device.
  
  * We have introduced full fledged Light Path Diagnostics support
    on PowerLinux. To bring all Light Path Diagnostics related
    code into common tree and re-use common functionalities across
    tools, we have re-implemented usysident/usysattn commands. 
    Light Path Diagnostics including new implentation of 
    usysident/usysattn will be hosted in PowerLinux diagnostic 
    package (ppc64-diag).
    
    ppc64-diag source:
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-diag/files/ppc64-diag
    
    This will introduce package conflict between ppc64-diag and
    powerpc-utils. To avoid the conflict we need to deprecate the

- Update to 1.2.11
   Drop powerpc-utils.insserv-ibmvscsis.patch as script
    no longer shipped with tarball
- Adds support to the bootlist script to be able to supply a 
   multipath device     as a parameter. The script will now 
   properly handle setting up the bootlist for all paths to 
   a multipath device.
- Fixes ofpathname OF to logical conversion for LUN zero 
   for VFC devices.
- Add --unzip and --ascii options to nvram command, for 
   examination of oops/panic reports captured in lnx,oops-log 
   or ibm,rtas-log.
- On newer kernels the dscr value is a per-process value and a new
    interface (dscr_default) is used to update the dscr value for
    all new processes on the system.
- require librtas-devel as librtas has been splitted

- Update to 1.2.10 release
- Man page for lparstat
- Adds support to ofpathname for HFI network devices. Since the current driver
    does not attach to any bus and there is no way to correlate between the devi
    ce tree and the hf device in sysfs, we have to make some assumptions in how 
    the two are related.
- Adds support for some new ipr SAS adapters which have a new device path
   representation in Open Firmware. This also fixes the OF to logical translation
   for LSI based SAS adapters as well as fixes issues seen with some FC devices.
- Adds the page coalescing statistics to the output of amsstat
- The number removable memory sections can not be determined if AMS is
    active because LMBs that are not marked 'is_removable' could still be
    removed if the balloon driver owns that memory.  Therefore the check
    comparing the user-specified quanity of LMBs to add/remove is invalid.
    
    If AMS ballooning is active, skip the check for how many LMBs are
    removable and try the operation.
 
- The snap man page indicates that the file /var/log/platform
    is collected.  This is not always true and can cause some confusion
    since the file does not exist on newer systems.  To avoid confusing
    users who might think the file should be collected, remove it
    from the man page listing of files.
    
    The /var/log/platform file is where the rtas_errd daemon used to write
    its data before the advent of servicelog.  On older systems that may
    still be running an older rtas_errd daemon (diagela package) this
    file would still exist so we should still try to collect it in the
    snap command if its present.
- The get_bus_id function takes a location code and then searches
