The logic here is IMHO a little bit hard to understand. Why do you need
the SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT_DEFAULT state here at all? Wouldn't it be
sufficient to start with SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT_DISABLED by default and to
only enable it when the extension is available? ... at least some
explaining comments in the code about SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT_DEFAULT could
help here.

Unnecessary white space change.

Couldn't we get HPT resizing on KVM-PR one day, too?
