The current behaviour of the compat ioctls is a bit odd.
We provide a compat_ioctl method when KVM_COMPAT is set, and NULL
otherwise. But NULL means that the normal, non-compat ioctl should
be used directly for compat tasks, and there is no way to actually
prevent a compat task from issueing KVM ioctls.
This patch changes this behaviour, by always registering a compat_ioctl
method, even if KVM_COMPAT is not selected. In that case, the callback
will always return -EINVAL.
Fixes: de8e5d7440 ("KVM: Disable compat ioctl for s390")

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
