    s390: add HWCAP_S390_PCI_MIO to ELF hwcaps · 7e8403ec
    Niklas Schnelle authored
    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.
