Linux as a guest operating system often doesn't have as stringent requirements
to architectural compliance as traditional operating systems that rely on it. 
Specifically, KVM implements the SIGP RESTART in a non-compliant way, 
as it reports a CPU state to be stopped after SIGP RESTART was issued, 
while it should report a busy condition until the CPU is really started.
This feature covers the necessary fixes/improvements to KVM SIGP processing.

v2: fixed hash, cherry picked from linux (instead of linux-next), based on 5.15.0-20.20

Eric Farman (2):
  KVM: s390: Add a routine for setting userspace CPU state
  KVM: s390: Simplify SIGP Set Arch handling
