Neither am I; do any of the folks who looked at the swiotlb patch have
an idea?

If you only add the device, it will show up as a normal ccw device in
the guest; i.e. device recognition is done at the same time as for the
other ccw devices. Still good to see that nothing breaks there :)
To actually make the guest use the 3270 as its console, I guess you
need to explicitly force it (see
https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/3270#Using_3270_as_the_console)...
actually starting the console will almost certainly fail; but you can
at least check whether device recognition in the console path works.

I don't think we need extensive testing here; just checking that the
sequence is not fundamentally broken.
