    drmgr: Fix CPU/LMB add/removal using drc_index
    
    This patch fixes a few things:
    
    - Removing a CPU using drc_index is currently removing wrong CPU since
      CPU removal code doesn't lookup CPU by index. Introduce a routine to
      lookup by index and ensure that it gets used from the removal path.
    - get_cpu_by_name() does an implicit looking up of index also. Fix this.
    - drmgr -s option can mean both drc_index and drc_name. In case of
      drc_index, rtas_errd will invoke drmgr without -q option which results
      in no CPU or LMB being added. Make 1 as the default count of
      CPUs unconditionally which applies to both the cases.
    
    After these fixes, I am able to get CPU hotplug and removal working
    with QEMU on a PowerKVM host.

    drmgr: Fix to check for drmgr REPLACE (-R) flag
    
    In drmgr command drmgr -R (REPLACE) flag check was missing, so
    this patch is to fix drmgr -R flag in valid_pci_options() interface.
    
    *************************************************
    Test results:
    
    before fixing the patch:
    The '-r', '-a', or '-i' option must be spcified for PCI operation
    
    After fixing the patch:
    
    The specified PCI slot is either invalid
    or does not support hot plug operations.xing the patch:

    drmgr: Use sysfs migration store to initiate migration when possible
    
    The sysfs attribute /sys/kernel/mobility/migration has been present for
    sometime, but never actually used by drmgr. It can be used to initiate a
    migration operation in place of the existing faux ibm,supsend-me rtas call.
    Further, newer kernels are capable of doing the device tree update.
    
    We can test the /sys/kernel/mobility/api_version attribute to determine the
    course of action drmgr should take. Newer kernels will return 1 indicating
    the kernel is cabable of performing the migration and postmobility fixups.
    If the attribute is unreadable or returns 0 drmgr should resort to initiatin
    the migration via rtas, and communicate the post mobility device tree update
    through the /proc/ppc64/ofdt interface to the kernel.

    snap: Restrict the usage of snap on RHEL 7 onwards
    
    snap is not supported on the RHEL 7 onwards, because we have integrated snap
    functionality in sosreport. So this patch displays a suitable message.
    RHEL 7+ users can use sosreport to collect log data.

    Add systemd unit (smt_off) to control smt status.
    
    This patch add a --with-systemd attribute to install a systemd unit
    to turn smt on or off (permanently or not).
    
    After it's installed you can use systemd commands like: status, start,
    stop, enable and disable to control it.

    drmgr/lsslot: Fix broken memory     support for little endian
    
    Commit 493bfdda30b61be46d7d71e5e7bb05df9334ba81 should have removed
    some endian conversions included in previous commit. Unfortunately,
    they were not removed, causing problems when hotplugging memory.
    This patch removes those endian conversions.
