- Update to 1.2.10 release
- Man page for lparstat
- Adds support to ofpathname for HFI network devices. Since the current driver
    does not attach to any bus and there is no way to correlate between the devi
    ce tree and the hf device in sysfs, we have to make some assumptions in how 
    the two are related.
- Adds support for some new ipr SAS adapters which have a new device path
   representation in Open Firmware. This also fixes the OF to logical translation
   for LSI based SAS adapters as well as fixes issues seen with some FC devices.
- Adds the page coalescing statistics to the output of amsstat
- The number removable memory sections can not be determined if AMS is
    active because LMBs that are not marked 'is_removable' could still be
    removed if the balloon driver owns that memory.  Therefore the check
    comparing the user-specified quanity of LMBs to add/remove is invalid.
    
    If AMS ballooning is active, skip the check for how many LMBs are
    removable and try the operation.
 
- The snap man page indicates that the file /var/log/platform
    is collected.  This is not always true and can cause some confusion
    since the file does not exist on newer systems.  To avoid confusing
    users who might think the file should be collected, remove it
    from the man page listing of files.
    
    The /var/log/platform file is where the rtas_errd daemon used to write
    its data before the advent of servicelog.  On older systems that may
    still be running an older rtas_errd daemon (diagela package) this
    file would still exist so we should still try to collect it in the
    snap command if its present.
- The get_bus_id function takes a location code and then searches (forwarded request 78048 from k0da)
