Bug description:
  === Description by mjros...@us.ibm.com  ===

  LP#1853306 / IBM bug 182254 backported the necessary kernel pieces to
  enable enhanced interpretation of PCI passthrough on s390.  It also
  included a kernel config update for CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM=y which
  is necessary to activate this kernel feature.

  For lunar and mantic, the kernel code did not require backporting due
  to the base kernel version already containing it, but the kernel
  config option still needs to be enabled.  Comparison from
  git.launchpad.net:

  Jammy:
  cat debian.master/config/annotations | grep CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM
  CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM                        policy<{'s390x': 'y'}>
  CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM                        note<'LP#1853306 Enable VFIO 
zPCI pass-through for s390x'>

  Lunar:
  cat debian.master/config/annotations | grep CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM
  CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM                        policy<{'s390x': 'n'}>

  Mantic:
  cat debian.master/config/annotations | grep CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM
  CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM                        policy<{'s390x': 'n'}>

  This setting is supposed to default y when S390 && KVM via Kconfig.
  Can this be enabled for lunar, mantic, and future releases?
