Me too :) , I was assuming this block to be 128bit, but the qci block
has 128 bytes....
And looking at arch/s390/include/asm/ap.h, there is a lot of information
contained that is definitely not of interest for CPU models...
I wonder if there is somewhere defined which bits are reserved for
future features/facilities, compared to ap masks and such.
This is really hard to understand/plan without access to documentation.
You (Halil, Tony, Pier, ...) should have a look if what I described
related to PQAP(QCI) containing features that should get part of the CPU
model makes sense or not. For now I was thinking that there is some part
inside of QCI that is strictly reserved for facilities/features that we
can use.
