I assume that the "very early stuff" is basically only ccw consoles. Not sure if we can use virtio-serial as an early ccw console -- IIRC that was only about 3215/3270? While QEMU guests are able to use a 3270 console, this is experimental and I would not count that as a use case. Anyway, 3215/3270 don't use adapter interrupts, and probably not anything cross-device, either; so unless early virtio-serial is a thing, this restriction is fine if properly documented.> What also used to speak against it is that > allocations asking for more than a page would just fail, but I addressed > that in the patch I've hacked up on top of the series, and I'm going to > paste below.

On LPAR (which would be the environment where I'd expect lots of devices), how many users of this infrastructure do we typically have? DASD do not use adapter interrupts, and QDIO devices (qeth/zfcp) use their own indicator handling (that pre-dates this infrastructure) IIRC, which basically only leaves the PCI functions you mention above.> > > > > > > > > What speaks against cio_dma_pool is that it is slightly more code, and > > > this currently can not be used for very early stuff, which I don't > > > think is relevant. > > > > Unless properly documented, it feels like something you can easily trip > > over, however. > > > > I assume that the "very early stuff" is basically only ccw consoles. > > Not sure if we can use virtio-serial as an early ccw console -- IIRC > > that was only about 3215/3270?
