Sorry, I do not understand what you want here.
Isn't it exactly what is done?

And don't you exactly say the opposite when you say that the description
should be done by the embedded comments?

OK, but then istn't obvious from reading the code ?

I am not sure about this one as APFT is installed in our case.
Or do you want that we test if it is installed and test the bit 40?

We should discuss this offline because I do not find any evidence that
we should really do this in the documentation.

You can better count than I do ;)
I will change this to c0f0.

hum,
I miss a
kvm_s390_set_psw_cc(vcpu, 3);
here
and certainly wherever fault in the status response code are set.

Will be corrected in the next iteration.

Thanks for the comments,
