Christian Borntraeger 48070c7305 s390/pci: do not require AIS facility
As of today QEMU does not provide the AIS facility to its guest.  This
prevents Linux guests from using PCI devices as the ais facility is
checked during init. As this is just a performance optimization, we can
move the ais check into the code where we need it (calling the SIC
instruction). This is used at initialization and on interrupt. Both
places do not require any serialization, so we can simply skip the
instruction.

Since we will now get all interrupts, we can also avoid the 2nd scan.
As we can have multiple interrupts in parallel we might trigger spurious
irqs more often for the non-AIS case but the core code can handle that.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
