    rebuild bios

As a general Ubuntu (and Debian) policy implies that we build everything from source for serviceability (and to no get any dark secrets without knowing about them). I assume you did the code updates as well (I see e.g. pc-bios: s390x: Save iplb location in lowcore), so that the s390-ccw.img that is generated on build will fulfill your needs?
Otherwise please also add the source-changes you need there to the backport.

While adding that to the packaging I found that the following isn't needed since I did a bunch of backports for patches submitted at qemu-stable, therefore I don't need to add "ae150759a9 s390/sclp: improve special wait psw logic" again.

In a similar fashion "3c664ea0a6 vhost: correctly turn on VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM" already was added before via bug 1847361.

The rest looks reasonable, thanks for the link to a git branch!

I have started a PPA build for your pre-verfication at:

Please let me know if anything further changes while waiting for this to be fully accepted upstream and also let me know if the testing uncovers anything unexpected.
