Real CTC link are working between LPARs.
I have a 2nd level VM that I dedicated a CTC address to that is also talking
to the other LPAR.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to define a virtual CTC between CP and the
2nd level VM.
CP DEFINE CTC is for a virtual machine.
VMA = LPAR
VMB = 2nd level VMA guest
VMC = LPAR
VMA -------- VMC

VMB ----------+
