With the introduction of memory I/O (MIO) instructions enbaled in commit
71ba41c9b1d9 ("s390/pci: provide support for MIO instructions") s390
gained support for direct user-space access to mapped PCI resources.
Even without those however user-space can access mapped PCI resources
via the s390 specific MMIO syscalls. Thus VFIO_PCI_MMAP can be enabled
on all s390 systems with native PCI allowing vfio-pci user-space
applications direct access to mapped resources.

Should we just purge this kconfig entirely? It is never meaningfully n now?

Makes sense to me. Will change this for v2. I'll also add a Suggested-
by for you if that's okay, should probably have been in this version
already.
