Protected virtualization guests have to use shared pages for airq notifier bit vectors, because the hypervisor needs to write these bits. Let us make sure we allocate DMA memory for the notifier bit vectors by replacing the kmem_cache with a dma_cache and kalloc() with cio_dma_zalloc().

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.
