I applied this series to the then current master several days ago, so
I have no problem reasoning about that state of code.  It seems we had
a misunderstanding. I was talking about code that is available (this
series "[RFC PATCH v4] vfio-ccw: Fix interrupt handling for HALT/CLEAR"),
and you were talking some future non-RFC merged incarnation of it I had
no opportunity to examine at this point in time.

I'm looking forward to that incarnation. And by the way, if an RFC
contains problems that are intentionally not addressed, because the
author wants to get feedback on some other aspect on the problem, I
prefer the things that are not dealt with stated clearly. Otherwise I
tend to invest time into finding the problems the author is already
aware of, and telling him that his solution is not correct because of
those.
