+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.

+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.

+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.

+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.

+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.
