Linux can > probably deal with this, but is it correct? Linux can deal with it. Since KVM does not support IPL in ESA mode, we basically always provided the czam functionality. We now do it like it was architected. z/VM does it the same way when enabling czam on an older system like z13. In other words the old code was not compliant (and never was), the new code is compliant. Since czam is kind of a "negative" facility, we can implement it also on older systems. > >> >> Signed-off-by: Jason J.
