That's not true. I indicated several times, that we can do that, but not
just by breaking the managed facility.
What I'm arguing against is that the blame is focused on those who
implemented the managed facility with the existing semantics.
I'm still waiting for a proper description of what needs to be changed in
order to make these drivers work again. All I have seen so far is to break
managed interrupts completely and that's not going to happen.
