It is, I'd do:

+static s390_topology_id s390_topology_from_cpu(S390CPU *cpu)
+{
+    struct S390CcwMachineState *s390ms = S390_CCW_MACHINE(current_machine);
+    s390_topology_id topology_id = {0};
+
+    topology_id.drawer = cpu->env.drawer_id;
+    topology_id.book = cpu->env.book_id;
+    topology_id.socket = cpu->env.socket_id;
+    topology_id.origin = cpu->env.core_id / 64;
+    topology_id.type = S390_TOPOLOGY_CPU_IFL;
+    topology_id.dedicated = cpu->env.dedicated;
+
+    if (s390ms->vertical_polarization) {
+        uint8_t to_polarization[] = {
+            [S390_CPU_ENTITLEMENT_LOW] = 1,
+            [S390_CPU_ENTITLEMENT_MEDIUM] = 2,
+            [S390_CPU_ENTITLEMENT_HIGH] = 3,
+        };
+        topology_id.entitlement = to_polarization[cpu->env.entitlement];
+    }
+
+    return topology_id;
+}

You can also use a switch of course.
I'd also rename s390_topology_id.entitlement to polarization.

Well, it does change the API a bit, namely which values mean what,
currently there is a value 0 that you're not supposed to use, that would go away.
It also shows up in some meta command to print qapi interfaces.
And dropping it simplifies the implementation IMO --- you don't need
to think about and prevent usage of a nonexistent state.

That sounds harder to do, I guess you'd have to reimplement the PropertyInfo
getters and setters to do that.

I don't see why we cannot just set it to medium.

No, your check function doesn't look the polarization at all (and shouldn't):

+static void s390_topology_check(uint16_t socket_id, uint16_t book_id,
+                                uint16_t drawer_id, uint16_t entitlement,
+                                bool dedicated, Error **errp)
+{

[...]

+    if (dedicated && (entitlement == S390_CPU_ENTITLEMENT_LOW ||
+                      entitlement == S390_CPU_ENTITLEMENT_MEDIUM)) {
+        error_setg(errp, "A dedicated cpu implies high entitlement");
+        return;
+    }
+}

I don't see why, just always reject it.
