Lukas didn't point me to any literature. Maybe he'll hop on the list and
provide supporting details.

The way he explained it is that IBM i is licensed by the processor core.
Hence if I pay for two cores then IBM doesn't care if I deploy that as 1
LPAR with 2 cores, two LPARS with 1 core each, three LPARS with 1 core to
one, .5 core to the other, and .5 core to the last. There's a lot of
combinations you could come up with because as far as I remember an LPAR can
be just .1 of a processor.
