Bit shifts or the next line?

Not sure about all that, this is the way it looks right now:

/* types for kvm_s390_mem_op->op */
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_READ 0
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_WRITE 1
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_SIDA_READ 2
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_SIDA_WRITE 3
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_ABSOLUTE_READ 4

#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION (1ULL << 1)
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_SKEY_PROTECTION (1ULL << 2)
#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CMPXCHG (1ULL << 3)

#define KVM_S390_MEMOP_R_NO_XCHG (1 << 16)

Seems consistent to me.

I think I'll do it like I said in the email to Thomas, that way it's maximally
explicit about the return values one might get.

I don't think so, if you get EOPNOTSUPP there's a programming error somewhere
that needs to be fixed.
I wouldn't want to mix that with the totally fine case of a protection exception.

Not sure why that would be necessary, but I did write
"Operand length of the cmpxchg, required: 1 <= len <= 16",
so I'll trust my past self on that.

I think it's a bit ugly, since cmpxchg_guest_abs_with_key is an internal function and not memop specific.
I don't like returning a MEMOP API constant there.
