"ibm,dynamic-memory-v2": This property replaces the "ibm,dynamic-memory"
node representation within the "ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory"
property provided by the BMC.  This element format is intended to provide
a more compact representation of memory, especially, for systems with
massive amounts of RAM.  To simplify portability, this property is
converted to the "ibm,dynamic-memory" property during system boot.

"ibm,architecture.vec": Bidirectional communication mechanism between
the host system and the front end processor indicating what features
the host system supports and what features the front end processor will
actually provide.  In this case, we are indicating that the host system
can support the new device tree structure "ibm,dynamic-memory-v2".
