      vfio-ccw: Enable transparent CCW IPL from DASD · 725b94d7

      Remove the explicit prefetch check when using vfio-ccw devices.
      This check does not trigger in practice as all Linux channel programs
      are intended to use prefetch.
      
      It is expected that all ORBs issued by Linux will request prefetch.
      Although non-prefetching ORBs are not rejected, they will prefetch
      nonetheless. A warning is issued up to once per 5 seconds when a
      forced prefetch occurs.
      
      A non-prefetch ORB does not necessarily result in an error, however
      frequent encounters with non-prefetch ORBs indicate that channel
      programs are being executed in a way that is inconsistent with what
      the guest is requesting. While there is currently no known case of an
      error caused by forced prefetch, it is possible in theory that forced
      prefetch could result in an error if applied to a channel program that
      is dependent on non-prefetch.
