So you mean rather than hooking into virt as I do here, drive something 
out of drivers/vfio/vfio.c:vfio_group_set_kvm?  Note, the kvm notifier 
is handled in vfio, not vfio_pci, so if you want to handle it in 
vfio_pci I think we'd need to add a new routine to vfio_device_ops and 
only define it vfio_pci for s390

e.g.

static const struct vfio_device_ops vfio_pci_ops = {
	.name		= "vfio-pci",
[...]
#ifdef CONFIG_S390
	.set_kvm = vfio_pci_zdev_set_kvm,
#endif
};

and something like...

void vfio_group_set_kvm(struct vfio_group *group, struct kvm *kvm)
{
	struct vfio_device *vdev;
	group->kvm = kvm;

	mutex_lock(&group->device_lock);
	list_for_each_entry(vdev, &group->device_list, group_next) {
		if (vdev->ops->set_kvm)
			it->ops->set_kvm(vdev, kvm);
	}
	mutex_unlock(&group->device_lock);

	blocking_notifier_call_chain(&group->notifier,
				VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM, kvm);
}
