Commit Message

IPL over a virtio-scsi device requires special handling not
available in the real architecture. For this purpose the IPL
type 0xFF has been chosen as means of communication between
QEMU and the pc-bios. However, a guest OS could be confused
by seeing an unknown IPL type.

This change sets the IPL parameter type to 0x02 (CCW) to prevent
this. Pre-existing Linux has looked up the IPL parameters only in
the case of FCP IPL. This means that the behavior should stay
the same even if Linux checks for the IPL type unconditionally.

Confused, doesn't this imply that a system reset immediately after this
instruction will result in something different getting booted?

Not if the other (QEMU) patches of this series are applied. Without
them, the behavior is the same as with an re-ipl (Today's Linux will
always request a CCW re-ipl).

I can't find a proper public specification for diag 308, so no clue how
to review this properly. Christian, could you please have a look?

It does match the diag 308 store/load implementation in
target/s390x/diag.c... but a pointer to an official spec (if public)
would still be appreciated :)

I will do some testing on the whole series and answer to the cover letter.
Just in case.
