Subject: [PATCH 1/4] KVM-S390: Improve determination of sizes in
 kvm_s390_import_bp_data()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 18:29:04 +0200

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
