Ben, The userspace update_flash script invokes the rtas_flash module. With upcoming System p servers, the firmware will have the entitlement dates encoded in it and RTAS will return an error if the entitlement has expired. All we need from this module is for it to return that new error which will then be communicated to the user by the update_flash.
