The kernel part just went upstream, with the following git commit: commit 4eafad7febd482092b331ea72c37274d745956be Author: Alexey Ishchuk <[email protected]> Date: Fri Nov 14 14:27:58 2014 +0100 s390/kernel: add system calls for PCI memory access Add the new __NR_s390_pci_mmio_write and __NR_s390_pci_mmio_read system calls to allow user space applications to access device PCI I/O memory pages on s390x platform.
