In order to support the use of enhanced PCI instructions in both kernel- and userspace we need both hardware support and proper setup in the kernel. The latter can be toggled off with the pci=nomio command line option. Thus availability of this feature in userspace depends on all of kernel configuration (CONFIG_PCI), hardware support and the current kernel command line and can thus not rely solely on a facility bit. Instead let's introduce a new ELF hardware capability bit HWCAP_S390_PCI_MIO to tell userspace whether these PCI instructions can be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
