Since PAV is OCO (like the qeth driver), then it would need to be some sort of installable kernel module. Perhaps with "hooks" from the standard ECKD dasd driver. In fact, all of the "new and nifty" hardware from IBM is protected in this way, as best as I can tell. Under MVS, PAV is under the control of WLM to determine when to create a new alias address to a given base address and then take it back later. I guess under Linux, a DASD I/O monitor in userspace (or kernelspace) would work, or just leave it up to the sysadmin.
