This capability indicates that the KVM_S390_NORMAL_RESET and
KVM_S390_CLEAR_RESET ioctls are available.

+:Architectures: s390
This capability indicates that the Ultravisor has been initialized and
KVM can therefore start protected VMs.
This capability governs the KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND ioctl and the
KVM_MP_STATE_LOAD MP_STATE. KVM_SET_MP_STATE can fail for protected
guests when the state change is invalid.

+
+This capability indicates that KVM supports steal time accounting.
+When steal time accounting is supported it may be enabled with
+architecture-specific interfaces. This capability and the architecture-
+specific interfaces must be consistent, i.e. if one says the feature
+is supported, than the other should as well and vice versa. For arm64

+8.25 KVM_CAP_S390_DIAG318
+-------------------------
+
+:Architectures: s390
+
+This capability enables a guest to set information about its control program
+(i.e. guest kernel type and version). The information is helpful during
+system/firmware service events, providing additional data about the guest
+environments running on the machine.
+
+The information is associated with the DIAGNOSE 0x318 instruction, which sets
+an 8-byte value consisting of a one-byte Control Program Name Code (CPNC) and
+a 7-byte Control Program Version Code (CPVC). The CPNC determines what
+environment the control program is running in (e.g. Linux, z/VM...), and the
+CPVC is used for information specific to OS (e.g. Linux version, Linux
+distribution...)
+
+If this capability is available, then the CPNC and CPVC can be synchronized
+between KVM and userspace via the sync regs mechanism (KVM_SYNC_DIAG318).
