PowerVC should allow you to change availability priority

PowerVC allows you to set an "availability priority" when deploying, but it does not allow you to change it afterwards.

Since it is used to determine start-up sequence for remote restart, when the LPAR mix changes, you should be able to modify it from PowerVC.

Also, on Migrate, PowerVC changes the value of avail_priority automatically to 127, with no supported way for you to reset it.
