This works because listing the contents of the reader is done
via a DIAG call rather than Linux prodding the device itself.

This is because RedHat defaults to ignoring all devices via the
cio_ignore blacklist and only enabling those that are explicitly
removed from the blacklist. To do this dynamically, do:
# cio_ignore -r 00c
You can then bring it online with chccwdev. You can ensure that
the device is not ignored at the next boot by modifying the
cio_ignore parameter in the kernel command line in /etc/zipl.conf
and rerunning zipl. For example, you could change
cio_ignore=all,!0.0.0009 to cio_ignore=all,!0.0.0009,!0.0.000c
or getting rid of the cio_ignore blacklist and allowing all the
virtual machine's devices to be seen.
