If protected virtualization is active on s390, the virtio queues are
not accessible to the host, unless VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM has been
negotiated. Use the new arch_validate_virtio_features() interface to
fail probe if that's not the case, preventing a host error on access
attempt

Punctuation at the end?

Also 'that's not the case' refers to the negation
'VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM has been negotiated',
arch_validate_virtio_features() is however part of
virtio_finalize_features(), which is in turn part of the feature
negotiation. But that is details. I'm fine with keeping the message as
is.

I'd probably use "legacy virtio not supported with protected
virtualization".

"support for limited memory access required for protected
virtualization"

?

Mentioning the feature flag is shorter in both cases, though.

I liked the messages in v4. Why did we change those? Did somebody
complain?

I prefer the old ones, but it any case:
