Per the POPs [1], when processing an interrupt the SCSW.CPA field of an
IRB generally points to 8 bytes after the last CCW that was executed
(there are exceptions, but this is the most common behavior).

In the case of an error, this points us to the first un-executed CCW
in the chain.  But in the case of normal I/O, the address points beyond
the end of the chain.  While the guest generally only cares about this
when possibly restarting a channel program after error recovery, we
should convert the address even in the good scenario so that we provide
a consistent, valid, response upon I/O completion.

[1] Figure 16-6 in SA22-7832-11.  The footnotes in that table also state
that this is true even if the resulting address is invalid or protected,
but moving to the end of the guest chain should not be a surprise.

Maybe add a comment

/* On successful execution, cpa points just beyond the end of the chain. */

or so, to avoid head-scratching and PoP-reading in the future?

And deny future visitors the confusion?  :)

Good point; added.
