To centralize the memory allocation for I/O we define
the alloc_io_page/free_io_page functions which share the I/O
memory with the host in case the guest runs with
protected virtualization.

Janosch recently started to introduce SPDX identifieres to the s390x code, so I think it would be good to use them here, too.

Apart from the assert() statement, the size parameter seems to be completely unused. It's also weird to have the function named alloc_something_page() and then have a parameter that takes bytes. Thus I'd suggest to either drop the size parameter completely, or to rename the function to alloc_io_mem and then to alloc multiple pages below in case the size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE. Or maybe even to name the function alloc_io_pages and then use "int num_pages" as a parameter, allowing to allocate multiple pages at once?
