There are two scenarios that need to be addressed here. First, an ORB that does NOT have the Format-2 IDAL bit set could have both a direct-addressed CCW and an indirect-data-address CCW chained together. This means that the IDA CCW will contain a Format-1 IDAL, and can be easily converted to a 2K Format-2 IDAL. But it also means that the direct-addressed CCW needs to be converted to the same 2K Format-2 IDAL for consistency with the ORB settings. Secondly, a Format-1 IDAL is comprised of 31-bit addresses. Thus, we need to cast this IDAL to a pointer of ints while populating the list of addresses that are sent to vfio. Since the result of both of these is the use of the 2K IDAL variants, and the output of vfio-ccw is always a Format-2 IDAL (in order to use 64-bit addresses), make sure that the correct control bit gets set in the ORB when these scenarios occur.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
