Apologies if that already has been answered (and I missed it in my mail
pile...), but two things had come to my mind previously:

- CHSC... does anything need to be done there? Last time I asked:
  "Anyway, css_bus_init() uses some chscs
   early (before cio_dma_pool_init), so we could not use the pools
   there, even if we wanted to. Do chsc commands either work, or else
   fail benignly on a protected virt guest?"  

Protected virt won't support all CHSC. The supported ones won't requre
use of shared memory. So we are fine.

I suppose the supported ones are the sync chscs that use the chsc area
as a direct parameter (and therefore are handled similarly to the other
I/O instructions that supply a direct parameter)? I don't think we care
about async chscs in KVM/QEMU anyway, as we don't even emulate chsc
subchannels :) (And IIRC, you don't get chsc subchannels in z/VM
guests, either.)

Nod.

- PCI indicators... does this interact with any dma configuration on
  the pci device? (I know pci is not supported yet, and I don't really
  expect any problems.)
  

It does but, I'm pretty confident we don't have a problem with PCI. IMHO
Sebastian is the guy who needs to be paranoid about this, and he r-b-ed
the respective patches.

Just wanted to make sure that this was on the radar. You guys are
obviously in a better position than me to judge this :)

Anyway, I do not intend to annoy with those questions, it's just hard
to get a feel if there are areas that still need care if you don't have
access to the documentation for this... if you tell me that you are
aware of it and it should work, that's fine for me.

The questions are important. It is just the not so unusual problem with
the availability of public documentation that makes things a bit
difficult for me as well.

And sorry if these questions were ignored in the past. I did not have
the bandwidth to take care of all the questions properly, but I did
enough so that the other guys never knew if they need to engage or not.

Regards,
Halil
