This looks much cleaner to me, thanks!

You can drop ()

You can drop () as well.

We might not need the -EBUSY semantics after all. User space can just
track if it was set, because it's in charge of setting it.

I don't think we need this. I think the above (checking the target of a
SIGP order) is sufficient. Or which situation do you have in mind?



I do wonder if we want to make this a kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl() instead,
essentially just providing a KVM_S390_SET_SIGP_BUSY *and* providing the
order. "order == 0" sets it to !busy. Not that we would need the value
right now, but who knows for what we might reuse that interface in the
future.

Thanks!
