confusing behavior of LPM during inspections max_xfer_size

confusing behavior of LPM during inspections max_xfer_size :

I can create on system "A" lpar "X" (and run it) with max_xfer_size larger (on NPIV virtual FC adapter) then used by respective vios on physical FC adapter

I can move this lpar by LPM to another system "B" (with max_xfer_size on vios physical FC adapter equal or greater then on lpar "X")

I can't move lpar "X" back to system "A", because validation will fail due to size of max_xfer_size (and it calls it txu to make it even less understandable ;-((

the check is too strict and should be moved from the error category to the warning category (and unify terminology max_xfer_size  / txu )
