I see some review feedback that seems to suggest a new version would be
posted:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-s390/0f03ab0b-2dfd-e1c1-fe43-be2a59030a71@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I also see in this thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-s390/20210721164550.5402fe1c.pasic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

that Halil's concern's around open/close races are addressed by Jason's
device_open/close series that's already in my next branch and he
provided an Ack, but there's still the above question regarding the
kvm->lock that was looking for a review from... I'm not sure, maybe
Connie or Paolo.  Christian, is this specifically what you're ack'ing?

It can ultimately go in through my tree, but not being familiar with
this code I'd hope for more closure.  Thanks,

Alex
