The subject and commit description don't fit together.
You're doing two things in this patch and only describe one of them.

I'd suggest something like this:

KVM: s390: Cleanup ipte lock access and SIIF facility checks

We can check if SIIF is enabled by testing the sclp_info struct instead of testing the sie control block eca variable as that facility is always enabled if available.

Also let's cleanup all the ipte related struct member accesses which currently happen by referencing the KVM struct via the VCPU struct. Making the KVM struct the parameter to the ipte_* functions removes one level of indirection which makes the code more readable.


OK done.



Other than that I'm happy with this patch.


Thanks,

Pierre
