Add KVM_DEV_TYPE_S390_CONFIG kvm device that contains
configuration and control attributes of particular vm.
The device is created by KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl.
The attributes may be retrieved and stored by calling
KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR and KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR ioctls.

I don't think a device is particularly the best fit. A device can
usually be instantiated multiple times. The configuration device can
only be created once. A device also gets created by user space which
enables it to receive the fd to drive it. Your device has to be created
during VM creation.
I think VM configuration is common enough to just make this a separate
interface.
