H A Dkvm.hdiff 22be5a133169e855097936438417ab1b672ad43f Thu Jan 21 13:22:54 CET 2016 David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> KVM: s390: forward ESOP if available

ESOP guarantees that during a protection exception, bit 61 of real location
168-175 will only be set to 1 if it was because of ALCP or DATP. If the
exception is due to LAP or KCP, the bit will always be set to 0.

The old SOP definition allowed bit 61 to be unpredictable in case of LAP
or KCP in some conditions. So ESOP replaces this unpredictability by
a guarantee.

Therefore, we can directly forward ESOP if it is available on our machine.
We don't have to do anything when ESOP is disabled - the guest will simply
expect unpredictable values. Our guest access functions are already
handling ESOP properly.

Please note that future functionality in KVM will require knowledge about
ESOP being enabled for a guest or not.
