Because there is not matching (emulated) QEMU device for the Linux drivers using IDA, testing IDA requires extra effort.
The last patch of this series is a QEMU patch which introduces an emulated CCW device, which does support IDA. This patch depends on my IDA work and is intended to be used with the following patch set: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-09/msg03434.html The second patch is an out-of-tree Linux kernel module, meant to exercise the QEMU device introduced by the first patch. The idea is to apply this patch to an empty git repository. Both of the patches used to be included in my IDA series, but I've split them out on maintainer request.
