IMHO "Instead" is not exact.
The GIB alert is always issued on adapter interrupt if IAM is set even
if the guest is running in SIE context.
I would prefer to rephrase to something like:
"If enabled, a GIB alert is issued on the host..." ?
I agree.

This mechanism allows to process adapter interrupts for currently
not running guests.
The GIB is created during host initialization and associated with
the Adapter Interruption Facility in case an Adapter Interruption
Virtualization Facility is available.
The GIB initialization and thus the activation of the related code
will be done in an upcoming patch of this series.
