Yup.

Is the amount really the same? I thought you can prioritize some VFs
over others (== allocate different number of TCEs). Does it really
matter if it is the same?

Stop saying "16x", it is not guaranteed by anything :)

No, having two of these does not seem right or useful. It is pseries
which does not use petitboot (relies on grub instead so until the target
kernel is started, there will be no ddw) so realistically we need this
property for kexec/kdump which uses the same kernel but different
initramdisk so for that purpose we need the same property name.

But I can see myself annoyed when I try petitboot in the hacked pseries
qemu and things may crash :) On this basis I'd suggest keeping the name
and adding a comment next to it that it is not always "direct" anymore.

Yes, this.

The actual window/table is new (on the hypervisor side), you are not
migrating a single TCE, you deleted one whole window and created another
whole window, calling it "migration" is confusing, especially when PAPR
actually defines TCE migration.

Having explicit values is more readable imho.

Ah right I did suggest this :) My bad. I think I suggested it before
suggesting to keep the reserved area boundaries checked/adjusted to the
window boundaries, may as well drop this. Thanks,
