The ibm,get_system_parameter rtas call is used by the guest to retrieve
data relating to certain parameters of the system. The SPLPAR
characteristics option (token 20) is used to determin characteristics of
the environment in which the lpar will run.
It may be useful for a guest to know the number of physical host threads
present on the underlying system where it is being run. Add the
characteristic "HostThrs" to the SPLPAR Characteristics
ibm,get_system_parameter rtas call to expose this information to a
guest and provide an implementation which determines this information
based on the number of interrupt servers present in the device tree.
