Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Pass zPCI hardware information via VFIO

This patchset provides a means by which hardware information about the
underlying PCI device can be passed up to userspace (ie, QEMU) so that
this hardware information can be used rather than previously hard-coded
assumptions. A new VFIO region type is defined which holds this
information. 

A form of these patches saw some rounds last year but has been back-
tabled for a while.  The original work for this feature was done by Pierre
Morel. I'd like to refresh the discussion on this and get this finished up
so that we can move forward with better-supporting additional types of
PCI-attached devices.  The proposal here presents a completely different
region mapping vs the prior approach, taking inspiration from vfio info
capability chains to provide device CLP information in a way that allows 
for future expansion (new CLP features).

This feature is toggled via the CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV configuration entry. 

Changes from v1:
- Added ACKs (thanks!)
- Patch 2: Minor change:s/util_avail/util_str_avail/ per Niklas
- Patch 3: removed __packed
- Patch 3: rework various descriptions / comment blocks
- New patch: MAINTAINERS hit to cover new files.

Matthew Rosato (5):
  s390/pci: stash version in the zpci_dev
  s390/pci: track whether util_str is valid in the zpci_dev
  vfio-pci/zdev: define the vfio_zdev header
  vfio-pci/zdev: use a device region to retrieve zPCI information
  MAINTAINERS: Add entry for s390 vfio-pci
