Please let us know what guarantees, that we will disable the interruptions we previously enabled using AQIC (and generally facilitate proper cleanup) *before* kvm_s390_gisa_destroy() makes the gisa and with that the IPM go away! Please note that IMHO this needs to be guaranteed by the kernel regardless of what userspace (QEMU) or the guest does. (I've asked this question before during our internal review but I could not find the answer if there was one after going trough my mails.) Regards, Halil
