To enable CMMA and to reset its state we use the vm kvm_device ioctls,
encapsulating attributes within the KVM_S390_VM_MEM_CTRL group.

Sounds awkward to use these three ioctls for something not
returned by KVM_CREATE_DEVICE.

/* ioctls for fds returned by KVM_CREATE_DEVICE */
#define KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR       _IOW(KVMIO,  0xe1, struct kvm_device_attr)
#define KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR       _IOW(KVMIO,  0xe2, struct kvm_device_attr)
#define KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR       _IOW(KVMIO,  0xe3, struct kvm_device_attr)

Is that much of a problem to introduce

struct kvm_vm_attr and

/* ioctls for fds returned by KVM_CREATE_VM */
#define KVM_SET_VM_ATTR       _IOW(KVMIO,  0xa, struct kvm_vm_attr)
#define KVM_GET_VM_ATTR       _IOW(KVMIO,  0xb, struct kvm_vm_attr)
#define KVM_HAS_VM_ATTR       _IOW(KVMIO,  0xc, struct kvm_vm_attr)

?

We could just alias them, no?

#define KVM_SET_VM_ATTR KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR

But I don't feel strongly either way.

Other than that (which would be mostly organizational issue) per-vm
attributes seem fine to me.
