No objections at all, though it would be like to have ucall plumbed in from the beginning. Paolo

I'm still looking at the ucall interface ... what I don't quite get yet is the question why the ucall_type there is selectable during runtime? Are there plans to have test that could either use UCALL_PIO or UCALL_MMIO? If not, what about moving ucall_init() and ucall() to architecture specific code in tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/aarch64/ and tools/testing/selftests/kvm/lib/x86_64 instead, and to remove the ucall_type stuff again (so that x86 is hard-wired to PIO and aarch64 is hard-wired to MMIO)? ... then I could add a DIAG-based ucall on s390x more easily, I think.

Yes, that would work. I think Andrew wanted the flexibility to use MMIO on x86, but it's not really necessary to have it. Paolo

If the flexibility isn't necessary, then I agree that it'll be nicer to put the ucall_init() in arch setup code, avoiding the need to remember it in each unit test. Thanks, drew
