It has been broken since 2018, I don't find this reasoning entirely
reasonable :\
Though upstream has been broken since 2018 for pSeries, the breaking
patches got trickled into downstream distro kernels only in the last few
years. The legacy workloads that were running on PowerNV with these
downstream distros are now broken on the pSeries logical partitions
without the fixes in this series.
I firmly believe the refactoring in this patch series is a step in
that direction.
But fine, as long as we are going to fix it. PPC really needs this to
be resolved to keep working.
Thanks, We are working on it.
