S390, protecting the guest memory against unauthorized host access
needs to enforce VIRTIO I/O device protection through the use of
VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 and VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.

Hm... what about:

"If protected virtualization is active on s390, the virtio queues are
not accessible to the host, unless VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM has been
negotiated. Use the new arch_validate_virtio_features() interface to
enforce this."

s/enforce this/fail probe if that's not the case, preventing a host error on access attempt/


yes, more complete, thanks.
