Thanks for pointing this Aneesh,

You're right I missed that callback and it was quite invisible during my test
because the value set back in the aa_index was the same.

When dmrem_update_dt() is called, there is no need to update the LMB back and
the DT modify notifier should be ignored.

As DLPAR operations are serialized (by lock_device_hotplug()), I'm proposing to
rely on a boolean static variable to do skip this notification, like this:

Any concern with this option?

Laurent.
