Typically, a guest virtualized via QEMU/KVM on s390 only sees

(virtio-ccw)" transport. This makes virtio devices discoverable via
standard operating system algorithms for handling channel devices.
However this is not enough. On s390 for the majority of devices, which
use the standard Channel I/O based mechanism, we also need to provide

vfio-ccw patches overview
-------------------------
vfio-ccw operation details
--------------------------
For now, our patches are rebased on the latest mdev implementation.
vfio-ccw follows what vfio-pci did on the s390 paltform and uses
vfio-iommu-type1 as the vfio iommu backend. It's a good start to launch
the code review for vfio-ccw. Note that the implementation is far from
complete yet; but we'd like to get feedback for the general
architecture.

* CCW translation APIs
- Description:
These introduce a group of APIs (start with 'cp_') to do CCW
translation. The CCWs passed in by a user space program are
organized with their guest physical memory addresses. These APIs
will copy the CCWs into the kernel space, and assemble a runnable
kernel channel program by updating the guest physical addresses with
their corresponding host physical addresses.
