Yes, it's currently unused (so I think you could also pick up the patch directly, without the need for recompiling the s390-ccw.img just because of this) ... I don't mind too much if we fix it or remove it, but since you've said that it might be useful in the future again, I think we can simply keep it for now. Thomas
