Yes. We want to get rid of KVM_S390_INITIAL_RESET in QEMU. This comes from a time, when we had another userspace prototype for KVM on s390 (kuli). Its really a wart that has to go. Its just that we are not there yet to remove the call to KVM_S390_INITIAL_RESET. Doing so can result in hard to debug errors after reboot, if an interrupt was made pending just before reboot that gets delivered in the new instance. The new way for local interrupt read/write will probably be some onereg or syncreg interface with a bitmask register and payload registers. We have to solve some concurrency and implemenation issues here.
