Yes, that's correct. We are talking about the "Reserved" field with "Central 
Storage".
I wouldn't know how to write a test case here, since the kernel brought up all 
"reserved"/"standby" memory already before user space can figure out anything.

The only thing that works: _if_ you know that an LPAR is configured with
"Reserved" memory then the last line of the output of lsmem must _not_
look this:

Total offline memory:      0B

But instead contain a value that is not zero.

We may play some tricks about to which (Linux) memory zone got added,
but that changed in the past - and I really wouldn't rely on that for a
test case.
