I'm not sure I understand where are you coming from...
With CCW_CMD_SET_IND we tell the hypervisor the guest physical address
at which the so called classic indicators. There is a comment that
makes this obvious. The argument of the sizeof was and remained a
pointer type. AFAIU this is what bothers you.

The size of vcdev->indicators is restricted or defined by the virtio
specification. Please have a look at '4.3.2.6.1 Setting Up Classic Queue
Indicators' here:
https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.1/cs01/virtio-v1.1-cs01.html#x1-1630002
Since with Linux on s390 only 64 bit is supported, both the sizes are in
line with the specification. Using u64 would semantically match the spec
better, modulo pre virtio 1.0 which ain't specified. I did not want to
do changes that are not necessary for what I'm trying to accomplish. If
we want we can change these to u64 with a patch on top.

These are one per queue. The number of queues used to be limited to 64
but it ain't no more. If the driver uses classic notifiers, only the
first 64 can be used.

I think you are mixing up adapter interrupts as defined by the
architecture, with virtio indicators which are kind of a special case
at best: the two stage stuff is modeled after AISB and AIBV.

I hope, I managed to clear this up a bit. If not please try to re-state
your concern in different words.

Thanks for your review!
