Hi Julian,

It seems you missed the memcpy_toio()/memcpy_fromio() in
arch/s390/include/asm/io.h, probably because these are macros
and minimal configs might not build s390x with PCI enabled.

One snippet from the error output is:

In file included from arch/s390/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:

      |                   ^

I think the best course of action might be to change the
zpci_memcpy_…() functions to match the generic signatures. While the
generic implementation might work it would be very inefficient for us
as we really need to use the PCI Store Block instructions.

Thanks,
Niklas
