    s390/uv: introduce guest side ultravisor code

    The Ultravisor Call Facility (stfle bit 158) defines an API to the
    Ultravisor (UV calls), a mini hypervisor located at machine
    level. With help of the Ultravisor, KVM will be able to run
    "protected" VMs, special VMs whose memory and management data are
    unavailable to KVM.

    The protected VMs can also request services from the Ultravisor.
    The guest api consists of UV calls to share and unshare memory with the
    kvm hypervisor.

    To enable this feature support PROTECTED_VIRTUALIZATION_GUEST kconfig
    option has been introduced.

Since kernel 5.2 eventually landed in eoan's release pocket:
  linux-generic | 5.2.0.8.9 | eoan | s390
I'm changing this LP ticket to Fix Released.
