This patch series adds a selftest suite to validate the s390x architecture specific ucontrol KVM interface. When creating a VM on s390x it is possible to create it as userspace controlled VM or in short ucontrol VM. These VMs delegates the management of the VM to userspace instead of handling most events within the kernel. Consequently the userspace has to manage interrupts, memory allocation etc. Before this patch set this functionality lacks any public test cases. It is desirable to add test cases for this interface to be able to reduce the risk of breaking changes in the future. In order to provision a ucontrol VM the kernel needs to be compiled with the CONFIG_KVM_S390_UCONTROL enabled. The users with sys_admin capability can then create a new ucontrol VM providing the KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL parameter to the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. The kernels existing selftest helper functions can only be partially be reused for these tests.
I've picked up patches #1-6 and 10 to get some testing in and make the series smaller.
