This series introduces the concept of the relaxed translation requirement
for s390x guests in order to allow bypass of the guest IOMMU for more
efficient PCI passthrough.

With this series, QEMU can indicate to the guest that an IOMMU is not
strictly required for a zPCI device.  This would subsequently allow a
guest linux to use iommu.passthrough=1 and bypass their guest IOMMU for
PCI devices.

When this occurs, QEMU will note the behavior via an intercepted MPCIFC
instruction and will fill the host iommu with mappings of the entire
guest address space in response.

There is a kernel series that adds the relevant behavior needed to
exploit this new feature from within a s390x linux guest.  Most
recent version of that is at [1].

Changes for v2:
- Add relax-translation property, fence for older machines
- Add a new MPCIFC failure case when direct-mapping requested but
  the relax-translation property is set to off.
- For direct mapping, use a memory alias to handle the SMDA offset and
  then just let vfio handle the pinning of memory.

Matthew Rosato (2):
  s390x/pci: add support for guests that request direct mapping
  s390x/pci: indicate QEMU supports relaxed translation for passthrough
