Fair enough. It's an unfortunate side effect that "USER_SIGP" means
"all SIGP orders except for these ones that are handled totally within
the kernel."

Well, that would be fine. But of course part of my worry is when
userspace has CAP_S390_USER_SIGP, and we have a race between the kernel
handling SENSE and userspace handling things like STOP/RESTART.

Hrm... Well I guess I'd hoped to address this within the boundaries of
what exists today. Since there already is a "userspace sets cpu state"
interface, but those states do not contain a "busy" (just stopped or
operating, according to POPS), I'd tried to stay away from going down
that path to avoid confusion. I'll take a swag at it, though.
