The following validity interception occures when the gisa usage has been

The issue surfaces in the host kernel with the following kernel message as
soon a new kvm guest start has been attemted.
How about:
We might run into a SIE validity if gisa has been disabled either via
using kernel parameter "kvm.use_gisa=0" or by setting the related sysfs
attribute to N (echo N >/sys/module/kvm/parameters/use_gisa).
The validity is caused by an invalid value in the SIE control block's
gisa designation. That happens because we pass the uninitialized gisa
origin to virt_to_phys() before writing it to the gisa designation.
To fix this we return 0 in kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() if the origin is 0.
kvm_s390_get_gisa_desc() is used to determine which gisa designation to
set in the SIE control block. A value of 0 in the gisa designation
disables gisa usage.

I'd just remove that since it's not accessible for people outside of
IBM. Yes, checkpatch will complain but in this case it's ok to ignore that.
