I don't fully understand the problem, and I don't have a strong opinion.
What I understand is KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP_EXTENSION tells me if some mem
op extensions may be available if non-zero or that none are available.
Which mem-op extensions are available is not yet actually defined.
I can think some more, but feel free to proceed without me.
