> We want to be able to use adapter interrupts instead of classic I/O interrupts for virtio-ccw for several reasons:
> - Less exits, since we don't need TEST SUBCHANNEL for every interrupt and can coalesce interrupts for different devices
> - Common guest code with zPCI
> - Ability to make use of irqfds
> For this, we need a new channel command to set up two-stage indicator bits.
