So, the "it" setting the cpu into operating state is QEMU, via the
mpstate interface, which triggers that call? Or is that implicit, but
it does not hurt to do it again (which would make more sense to me)?

Assuming the latter, what about the following description:

"KVM: s390: protvirt: support setting cpu state 5

Setting code 5 ("load psw and set to operating") in the set cpu state
UV call tells the UV to load a PSW either from the SE header (first
IPL) or from guest location 0x0 (diag 308 subcode 0/1). Subsequently,
the cpu is set into operating state by the UV.

Note that we can still instruct the UV to set the cpu into operating
state explicitly afterwards."

Also maybe add a comment here that setting into oper state (again) can
be done separately?
