Apologies if that already has been answered (and I missed it in my mail
pile...), but two things had come to my mind previously:

- CHSC... does anything need to be done there? Last time I asked:
  "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?"
- PCI indicators... does this interact with any dma configuration on
  the pci device? (I know pci is not supported yet, and I don't really
  expect any problems.)
