+Description:	used to send the ID of a string that should be displayed on
+		s-Par's automatic installation progress screen. Setting this
+		field when not in installation mode (boottotool was set on
+		the previous guest boot) has no effect.

+What:		install/boottotool
+Date:		7/18/2014
+KernelVersion: 	TBD
+Contact:	sparmaintainer@unisys.com
+Description:	The boottotool flag controls s-Par behavior on the next boot of
+		this guest. Setting the flag will cause the guest to boot from
+		the utility and installation image, which will use the value in
+		the toolaction field to determine what operation is being
+		requested.

+KernelVersion: 	TBD
+Contact:	sparmaintainer@unisys.com
+Description:	This field is used to tell s-Par which type of recovery tool
+		action to perform on the next guest boot-up. The meaning of the
+		value is dependent on the type of installation software used to
+		commission the guest.

+Date:		7/18/2014
+KernelVersion: 	TBD
+Contact:	sparmaintainer@unisys.com
+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.

+What:		guest/parahotplug
+Date:		7/18/2014
+KernelVersion: 	TBD
+Contact:	sparmaintainer@unisys.com
+Description:	The parahotplug interface is used to deal with recovery
+		situations on s-Par guest partitions. The command service
+		partition will send a message to a guest when a device that
+		guest is using needs to be temporarily removed. The message
+		triggers a udev event that will cause a recovery script to run.
+		When that script has completed its work, it will write to the
+		parahotplug interface to send a message back to Command
+		indicating that it is safe to remove the device.
