sys_rtas() cannot call ibm,suspend-me directly in the same way it handles other inputs. Instead it must dispatch the request to code that can first perform the H_JOIN sequence before any call to ibm,suspend-me can succeed. Over time kernel/rtas.c has accreted a fair amount of platform-specific code to implement this. Since a different, more robust implementation of the suspend sequence is now in the pseries platform code, we want to dispatch the request there. Note that invoking ibm,suspend-me via the RTAS syscall is all but deprecated; this change preserves ABI compatibility for old programs while providing to them the benefit of the new partition suspend implementation. This is a behavior change in that the kernel performs the device tree update and firmware activation before returning, but experimentation indicates this is tolerated fine by legacy user space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
