If OPAL requests it, call it back via opal_poll_events() at a

I don't see any reason why not, but wanted to ask to make sure: this daemon can be bound to a core, correct? At least manually by taskset or similar?

It sounds a lot like the RTAS thread, which I was happy to see go away when running directly on OPAL, and don't want something else to take its place. It was not bindable, but ran periodically on EVERY core, err hardware thread.

(Just looking to avoid latency blips.)
