I think the approach is fine, and the code also looks fine for the most
part. Some comments:

- various patches can be squashed together to give a better
understanding at a glance
Which patches would you squash?
See the patches. As a rule, I find it more sensible to introduce
interface + implementation together rather than separate.
The only patch that introduces an interface separate from the implementation
is patch7:

KVM: s390: introduce AP matrix configuration interface

I've squashed that with patch8, s390/zcrypt: support for assigning adapters to matrix mdev


- this needs documentation (as I already said)
My plan is to take the cover letter patch and incorporate that into
documentation,
then replace the cover letter patch with a more concise summary.
Sounds good.

- some of the driver/device modelling feels a bit awkward (commented in
patches) -- I'm not sure that my proposal is better, but I think we
should make sure the interdependencies are modeled correctly
I am responding to each patch review individually.
- some minor stuff
