+*****************************
+***** s390 hardware IPL *****
+*****************************
+
+The s390 hardware IPL process consists of the following steps.
+
+1. A READ IPL ccw is constructed in memory location 0x0.
+    This ccw, by definition, reads the IPL1 record which is located on the disk
+    at cylinder 0 track 0 record 1. Note that the chain flag is on in this ccw
+    so when it is complete another ccw will be fetched and executed from memory
+    location 0x08.
+
+2. Execute the Read IPL ccw at 0x00, thereby reading IPL1 data into 0x00.
+    IPL1 data is 24 bytes in length and consists of the following pieces of
+    information: [psw][read ccw][tic ccw]. When the machine executes the Read
+    IPL ccw it read the 24-bytes of IPL1 to be read into memory starting at
+    location 0x0. Then the ccw program at 0x08 which consists of a read
+    ccw and a tic ccw is automatically executed because of the chain flag from
+    the original READ IPL ccw. The read ccw will read the IPL2 data into memory
+    and the TIC (Transfer In Channel) will transfer control to the channel
+    program contained in the IPL2 data. The TIC channel command is the
+    equivalent of a branch/jump/goto instruction for channel programs.
+    NOTE: The ccws in IPL1 are defined by the architecture to be format 0.
+
+3. Execute IPL2.
+    The TIC ccw instruction at the end of the IPL1 channel program will begin
+    the execution of the IPL2 channel program. IPL2 is stage-2 of the boot
+    process and will contain a larger channel program than IPL1. The point of
+    IPL2 is to find and load either the operating system or a small program that
+    loads the operating system from disk. At the end of this step all or some of
+    the real operating system is loaded into memory and we are ready to hand
+    control over to the guest operating system. At this point the guest
+    operating system is entirely responsible for loading any more data it might
+    need to function. NOTE: The IPL2 channel program might read data into memory
+    location 0 thereby overwriting the IPL1 psw and channel program. This is ok
+    as long as the data placed in location 0 contains a psw whose instruction
+    address points to the guest operating system code to execute at the end of
+    the IPL/boot process.
+    NOTE: The ccws in IPL2 are defined by the architecture to be format 0.
+
+4. Start executing the guest operating system.
+    The psw that was loaded into memory location 0 as part of the ipl process
+    should contain the needed flags for the operating system we have loaded. The
+    psw's instruction address will point to the location in memory where we want
+    to start executing the operating system. This psw is loaded (via LPSW
+    instruction) causing control to be passed to the operating system code.
+
+In a non-virtualized environment this process, handled entirely by the hardware,
+is kicked off by the user initiating a "Load" procedure from the hardware
+management console. This "Load" procedure crafts a special "Read IPL" ccw in
+memory location 0x0 that reads IPL1. It then executes this ccw thereby kicking
+off the reading of IPL1 data. Since the channel program from IPL1 will be
+written immediately after the special "Read IPL" ccw, the IPL1 channel program
+will be executed immediately (the special read ccw has the chaining bit turned
+on). The TIC at the end of the IPL1 channel program will cause the IPL2 channel
+program to be executed automatically. After this sequence completes the "Load"
+procedure then loads the psw from 0x0.
+
+**********************************************************
+***** How this all pertains to QEMU (and the kernel) *****
+**********************************************************
+
+In theory we should merely have to do the following to IPL/boot a guest
+operating system from a DASD device:
+
+1. Place a "Read IPL" ccw into memory location 0x0 with chaining bit on.
+2. Execute channel program at 0x0.
+3. LPSW 0x0.
+
+However, our emulation of the machine's channel program logic within the kernel
+is missing one key feature that is required for this process to work:
+non-prefetch of ccw data.
+
+When we start a channel program we pass the channel subsystem parameters via an
+ORB (Operation Request Block). One of those parameters is a prefetch bit. If the
+bit is on then the vfio-ccw kernel driver is allowed to read the entire channel
+program from guest memory before it starts executing it. This means that any
+channel commands that read additional channel commands will not work as expected
+because the newly read commands will only exist in guest memory and NOT within
+the kernel's channel subsystem memory. The kernel vfio-ccw driver currently
+requires this bit to be on for all channel programs. This is a problem because
+the IPL process consists of transferring control from the "Read IPL" ccw
+immediately to the IPL1 channel program that was read by "Read IPL".
+
+Not being able to turn off prefetch will also prevent the TIC at the end of the
+IPL1 channel program from transferring control to the IPL2 channel program.
+
+Lastly, in some cases (the zipl bootloader for example) the IPL2 program also
+transfers control to another channel program segment immediately after reading
+it from the disk. So we need to be able to handle this case.
+
+**************************
+***** What QEMU does *****
+**************************
+
+Since we are forced to live with prefetch we cannot use the very simple IPL
+procedure we defined in the preceding section. So we compensate by doing the
+following.
+
+1. Place "Read IPL" ccw into memory location 0x0, but turn off chaining bit.
+2. Execute "Read IPL" at 0x0.
+
+   So now IPL1's psw is at 0x0 and IPL1's channel program is at 0x08.
+
+4. Write a custom channel program that will seek to the IPL2 record and then
+   execute the READ and TIC ccws from IPL1.  Normally the seek is not required
+   because after reading the IPL1 record the disk is automatically positioned
+   to read the very next record which will be IPL2. But since we are not reading
+   both IPL1 and IPL2 as part of the same channel program we must manually set
+   the position.
+
+5. Grab the target address of the TIC instruction from the IPL1 channel program.
+   This address is where the IPL2 channel program starts.
+
+   Now IPL2 is loaded into memory somewhere, and we know the address.
+
+6. Execute the IPL2 channel program at the address obtained in step #5.
+
+   Because this channel program can be dynamic, we must use a special algorithm
+   that detects a READ immediately followed by a TIC and breaks the ccw chain
+   by turning off the chain bit in the READ ccw. When control is returned from
+   the kernel/hardware to the QEMU bios code we immediately issue another start
+   subchannel to execute the remaining TIC instruction. This causes the entire
+   channel program (starting from the TIC) and all needed data to be refetched
+   thereby stepping around the limitation that would otherwise prevent this
+   channel program from executing properly.
+
+   Now the operating system code is loaded somewhere in guest memory and the psw
+   in memory location 0x0 will point to entry code for the guest operating
+   system.
+
+7. LPSW 0x0.
+   LPSW transfers control to the guest operating system and we're done.
