But at the same time I wonder if we should just get rid of 
CONFIG_KVM_S390_UCONTROL and consequently kvm_arch_vcpu_fault().


In practice CONFIG_KVM_S390_UCONTROL, is never enabled in any reasonable 
kernel build and consequently it's never tested; further, exposing the 
sie_block to user space allows user space to generate random SIE 
validity intercepts.

CONFIG_KVM_S390_UCONTROL feels like something that should just be 
maintained out of tree by someone who really needs to hack deep into hw 
virtualization for testing purposes etc.
