Can someone elaborate on the CPU condition below for LDom migration from the 
admin guide?

The target machine must have sufficient free strands to accommodate the number
of strands in use by the domain. In addition, full cores must be allocated for 
the
migrated domain. If the number of strands in the source are less than a full 
core,
the extra strands are unavailable to any domain until after the migrated domain 
is
rebooted.

This info was highly unexpected to me and will pose problems for migrations as 
many guests (development environments) will not be allocated a full core of 
threads.  Does this mean that the other guests on that core will be quiesced 
for the duration of the migration?  or does it mean that the threads allocated 
to that core simply cannot be reallocated to a new guest LDom until migration + 
reboot of migrated domain?  If the first is true, a max loaded T5240 (128 
threads) can only have 16 total LDoms (primary + 15 guests) with none on the 
alternate system for full redundancy.
