Thanks, that makes it clear why we didn't see the warning before.

Right, JS20 doesn't support cpu offline so it makes sense that the
indicator isn't valid.

I checked PAPR; it looks like we should be looking for an
rtas-indicators property, which doesn't exist on this system.  It does
exist on Power5 and Power6 systems I've checked, and it has the
expected entry for GIQ (9005).

Something like this?  I've booted it on the problem JS20 as well as
Power5 and 6.

Pretty close.  We need to turn the above text into a changelog and a 
few comments below.

We should also check JS21 and cell blade.

I didn't look at the stuff we do to create the indicator directory in 
/proc/rtas.  Should this take an optional pointer arg to return the max 
count?  Just noticing that we are ignoring the count parameter.

I was thinking we would cache this result, but we don't save the token 
for rtas_set_indicator_fast and we only call this twice per cpu on each 
kernel (startup and kexec) so I'm ok with it.  (Athought it points out 
we are parsing the device tree in the kdump path).

This WARN should at least indicate which indicator we are trying to set 
(GLOBAL_INTERRUPT_QUEUE), if not the number (which is likely to always 
be 0 and not checked by current firmware).  That way we won't have to 
remember that the set-indicator in xics.c is to adjust cpu irq 
distribution when looking at the warning in the future.
