I think we could go with either wording. The number of possible LMBs is
the max number of LMBs that can be possibly dlpar added to the lpar.
When a partition is booted the device tree has information about all
of these possible LMBs, even if they are not currently assigned to the
partition.

The wording I chose mirrors how I think of them, but am open to change
if you think your wording is a better explanation.
