| Description: The boottotool flag controls s-Par behavior on the next boot of |

| requested. |

| Description: This entry is used by Unisys application software on the guest |
| to acknowledge completion of specific events for integration |
| purposes, but these acknowledgements are not required for the |
| guest to operate correctly. The interface accepts one of two |
| strings: MODULES_LOADED to indicate that the s-Par driver |
| modules have been loaded successfully, or CALLHOMEDISK_MOUNTED, |
| which indicates that the disk used to support call home services |
| has been successfully mounted. |

| What: parahotplug/deviceenabled |
| Date: 7/18/2014 |
| KernelVersion: TBD |
| Contact: sparmaintainer@unisys.com |
| Description: This entry is used by a Unisys support script installed on the |
| guest, and triggered by a udev event. The support script is |
| responsible for enabling and disabling SR-IOV devices when the |
| PF device is being recovered in another guest. |
| |
| Some SR-IOV devices have problems when the PF is reset without |
| first disabling all VFs attached to that PF. s-Par handles this |
| situation by sending a message to guests using these VFs, and |
| the script will disable the device. When the PF is recovered, |
| another message is sent to the guests to re-enable the VFs. |
| |
| The parahotplug/deviceenabled interface is used to acknowledge |
| the recovery message. |
