Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/5] S390: Documentation for CCW address type

The native bus for s390 I/O is called CCW (channel command word). As QEMU has added basic support for the CCW bus, i.e. the ability to assign CCW devnos (bus addresses) to devices. Domains with the new machine type s390-ccw-virtio can use the CCW bus. Currently QEMU will only allow to define virtio devices on the CCW bus. Here we add the new machine type and the new device address to the schema definition and add a new paragraph to the domain XML documentation.
