Not directly related to this patch (I don't really have any comment
here), but I started looking at the code again and now I'm wondering
about chsc. I think it came up before, but I can't remember if chsc
needed special treatment... Anyway, css_bus_init() uses some chscs
early (before cio_dma_pool_init), so we could not use the pools there,
even if we wanted to. Do chsc commands either work, or else fail
benignly on a protected virt guest?
