The GIB (Guest Information Block) links the GISA of all guests
that have adapter interrupts pending. These interrupts cannot be
delivered because no vcpu of these guests is currently running in
SIE context. Instead, a GIB alert is issued on the host to schedule
these guests to run.

This mechanism allows to process adapter interrupts for currently
not running guests.

The GIB is created during host initialization and associated with
the Adapter Interruption Facility in case an Adapter Interruption
Virtualization Facility is available.

The GIB initialization and thus the activation of the related code
will be done in an upcoming patch of this series.

I think that's the one place where a message in addition to the dbf
event makes sense (if kvm is built as a module), as mentioned last time.

The message is printed when kvm_s390_gib_init() fails. See last patch of series.


+		free_page((unsigned long)gib);
+		gib = NULL;
+		return -EIO;
+	}
+
+	KVM_EVENT(3, "gib 0x%pK (nisc=%d) initialized", gib, gib->nisc);
+	return 0;
+}

Otherwise, looks good to me.
