David Hildenbrand 38968bcdcc virtio-mem: s390 support
Now that s390 code is prepared for memory devices that reside above the
maximum storage increment exposed through SCLP, everything is in place
to unlock virtio-mem support.

As virtio-mem in Linux currently supports logically onlining/offlining
memory in pageblock granularity, we have an effective hot(un)plug
granularity of 1 MiB on s390.

As virito-mem adds/removes individual Linux memory blocks (256MB), we
will currently never use gigantic pages in the identity mapping.

It is worth noting that neither storage keys nor storage attributes (e.g.,
data / nodat) are touched when onlining memory blocks, which is good
because we are not supposed to touch these parts for unplugged device
blocks that are logically offline in Linux.

We will currently never initialize storage keys for virtio-mem
memory -- IOW, storage_key_init_range() is never called. It could be added
in the future when plugging device blocks. But as that function
essentially does nothing without modifying the code (changing
PAGE_DEFAULT_ACC), that's just fine for now.

kexec should work as intended and just like on other architectures that
support virtio-mem: we will never place kexec binaries on virtio-mem
memory, and never indicate virtio-mem memory to the 2nd kernel. The
device driver in the 2nd kernel can simply reset the device --
turning all memory unplugged, to then start plugging memory and adding
them to Linux, without causing trouble because the memory is already
used elsewhere.

The special s390 kdump mode, whereby the 2nd kernel creates the ELF
core header, won't currently dump virtio-mem memory. The virtio-mem
driver has a special kdump mode, from where we can detect memory ranges
to dump. Based on this, support for dumping virtio-mem memory can be
added in the future fairly easily.

Enable this to harden the device notifications and suppress
those that happen at a time where notifications are illegal.
Experimental: Note that several drivers still have issues that
may cause crashes or hangs when correct handling of
notifications is enforced; depending on the subset of
drivers and devices you use, this may or may not work.

This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
(like KVM or Xen).

Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
with no legacy compatibility.
So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
life will be like in The Future.
