[Yeah, this one has been sitting in my to-review queue far too long as
well :(]

What about the new pci instructions recently introduced? Not sure how
they differ from the old ones (which are currently the only ones
supported in QEMU...), but I'm pretty sure they are supposed to solve
an issue :)

Let me point to the thread starting at
https://marc.info/?l=linux-s390&m=155048406205221&w=2 as well. That
memory region stuff is still unsolved for ccw, and I'm not sure if we
need to do something for zpci as well.

Does s390 work with DAX at all? ISTR that DAX evolved from XIP, so I
thought it did?
