Public bug reported:
System: IBM Z15 z/VM with shared CEX7C adapters
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS ( 4.4.0-165-generic kernel ) with latest updates
Shared CEX7C adapters are not displayed on Ubuntu even though APAR 66266 had
been installed onto the unterlying z/VM system.
Details
=======
Defined shared CEX7C CCA adapters to provide cryptographic accelerators based
on CCA cards to a z/VM guest system running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS.
The adapters display all right under vm or when running vmcp commands
under Linux.
lszcrypt -VVV does not display any adapter.
We observed that zcrypt_cex4 was not automatically loaded via dependency
by modprobe ap. Explicitly loading by modprobe zcrypt_cex4 did not
change card availability.
Please investigate.
Thanks.

After investigating here a little ...
Ubuntu 16.04 has only toleration support for CEX6 and no support for CEX7.
Here is a patch which maps cex7 cards to cex5 cards.
Have a look into - it is just a 2 line code change which
extends the toleration patch for cex6 (mapped to cex5)
by the cex7 card - also mapped to cex5.
Code compiles and I've tested the kernel on a z15 with
lots of cex6 and cex7 cards - works fine.
