Subject: [PATCH v9 0/2] s390: virtio: let arch validate VIRTIO features

Hi all,

The goal of the series is to give a chance to the architecture
to validate VIRTIO device features.

in this respin:

The tests are back to virtio_finalize_features.

No more argument for the architecture callback which only reports
if the architecture needs guest memory access restrictions for
VIRTIO.


I renamed the callback to arch_has_restricted_virtio_memory_access,
and the config option to ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_VIRTIO_MEMORY_ACCESS.

Regards,
Pierre
