[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v2 0/5] CSS Mesurement Block

We tests the update of the Mesurement Block (MB) format 0
and format 1 using a serie of senseid requests.

The MB format 1 is only provided if the Extended mesurement Block
feature is available.
This feature is exposed by the CSS characteristics general features
stored by the Store Channel Subsystem Characteristics CHSC command,
consequently, we implement the CHSC instruction call and the SCSC CHSC
command.

In order to ease the writing of new tests using:
- interrupt
- enablement of a subchannel
- multiple I/O on a subchannel

We do the following simplifications:
- we create a CSS initialization routine
- we register the I/O interrupt handler on CSS initialization
- we do not enable or disable a subchannel in the senseid test,
assuming this test is done after the enable test, this allows
to create traffic using the SSCH used by senseid.
- we add a css_enabled() function to test if a subchannel is enabled.

Regards,
Pierre
