The initial version of vfio-ccw did not support forwarding of the
halt or clear functions to the device, and we had to emulate them
instead.

For versions of the vfio-ccw kernel implementation that indeed do
support halt/clear (by indicating them in the fctl of the scsw in
the io_region), we can simply start making use of it. If the kernel
does not support handling halt/clear, fall back to emulation.

Couldn't we introduce ABI versioning ?
Can you elaborate what you're referring to?

If you mean checking capabilities of the kernel or so: If we can avoid
that and just try (and stop if it does not work), I'd prefer that (no
dependencies).

VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION is already used in different drivers
for this kind of interface extension.
We could use it to setup appropriate callbacks for scsh/csch/xsch/hsch
depending on the extension argument.


The IOINST_OPNOTSUPP is a bit ugly, but I did not see a more elegant
way to pass 'not supported' up to the caller.
