Is it still possible to disable CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM ? Looking at the later patches (e.g. 20/21 where you call kvm_s390_pci_zpci_op() from kvm-s390.c), it rather seems to me that it currently cannot be disabled independently (as long as KVM is enabled).

Yes, you can build with, for example, CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM=n and CONFIG_KVM=m -- I tested it again just now.  The result is kvm and vfio-pci are built and vfio-pci works, but none of the vfio-pci-zdev extensions are available (including zPCI interpretation).

This is accomplished via the placement of some IS_ENABLED checks.  Some calls (e.g. AEN init) are fenced by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM).  There are also some areas that are fenced off via a call to kvm_s390_pci_interp_allowed() which also includes an IS_ENABLED check along with checks for facility and cpu id.

Using patch 20 as an example, KVM_CAP_S390_ZPCI_OP will always be reported as unavailable to userspace if CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM=n due to the call to kvm_s390_pci_interp_allowed().  If userspace sends us the ioctl anyway, we will return -EINVAL because there is again a IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM) check before we read the ioctl args from userspace.

Yes and the code will not be generated by the compiler in patch 20 after the break if CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM is not enabled.

So if you want to make this selectable by the user, I think you have to put some more #ifdefs in the following patches. But if this was not meant to be selectable by the user, I think it should not get a help text and rather be selected by the KVM switch in arch/s390/kvm/Kconfig instead of having a "default y".
