Yes, this makes sense -- on RHEL5.1, it's a much newer Linux kernel
and PLPA works as expected there. So ODLS uses the values that PLPA
passes back and all is good.
On older Linux kernels, we're effectively returning "not supported"
from paffinity, and therefore ODLS (rightly) assumes that it can't
know anything and puts us into the "oversubscribed" state.
I'm working on a fix.
Ok, so I thought I saw slow down with Solaris. Not sure it is the same
thing (wouldn't think so) but I'll test this out soon.
