The handling of MVPG, PFMF and Test Block is fixed to better follow
the architecture. None of these fixes is critical for any current
Linux guests, but let's play safe.
2. Optimization for single CPU guests
We can enable the IBS facility if only one VCPU is running (!STOPPED
state). We also enable this optimization for guest > 1 VCPU as soon
as all but one VCPU is in stopped state. Thus will help guests that
have tools like cpuplugd (from s390-utils) that do dynamic offline/
online of CPUs.
3. NOTES
There is one non-s390 change in include/linux/kvm_host.h that
introduces 2 defines for VCPU requests:
define KVM_REQ_ENABLE_IBS 23
define KVM_REQ_DISABLE_IBS 24
