The patch implements routines to access the GISA to test and modify
its Interruption Pending Mask (IPM) from the host side.

8 -> BITS_PER_BYTE, but ...

Am I wrong or can we only modify the 8 ipm bits this way? But we
want/have to do it in an atomic fashion?

Using an unsigned long seems wrong, because we "rewrite" more than we
should. Esp. everything beyond ipm. oi / ni and friends are not
available on older machines.

What about something as simple as the following


+void kvm_s390_gisa_set_ipm_gisc(struct kvm_s390_gisa *gisa, u8 gisc)
+{
+       u8 value = (0x80 >> gisc);
+
+       __sync_fetch_and_or(&gisa->ipm, value);
+}
+


Nobody is using this compiler build-in in the kernel and a quick compile
shows that it produces an ORK and CS instead of a LAOG beside a lot of
supporting instructions. Unfortunately it's not saving what you promise
... ;) Will not change.


Using unsigned long * bitmap operations to modify an u8 type atomically
just seems very very wrong >

I have to reconsider this...
