Similar for the previous patch, can userspace sanely use the API without
these capabilities? If not, reorder so the final enable comes last.
I would put those comments in the code, and make the changelog a little
higher level, including a reference or example of how userspace uses it,
which should come with any new userspace ABI.
"Export NX-GZIP capabilities to usrespace in sysfs /sys/devices/vio/...
directory. These are queried by userspace accelerator libraries to set
minimum length heuristics and maximum limits on request sizes."
Something like that. Otherwise looks okay to me.
Thanks,
Nick
