I was looking through this and looking at the kernel code that inits memory
for power systems and I wanted to make sure this is really working and
you are seeing all the memory you expect to see in the guest.

Looking through the memory init code (powerpc/kerne/prom.c) it appears that
the additional address@hidden would get initialized very early in boot, the same
time we currently init the address@hidden node. Then later in boot we would init
the rest of memory, lmbs in the dynamic-reconfiguration property.

Just wanting to make sure I'm understanding how this is working.

Also, since the memory specified in the address@hidden nodes is not removable 
this
should not break any of the userspace tools.
