Hypervisor needs to interact with the summary indicators, so these
need to be DMA memory as well (at least for protected virtualization
guests).

What happens if this fails?

Bad things could happen!

How about adding

if (!summary_indicators)
        virtio_ccw_use_airq = 0; /* fall back to classic */

?

Since it ain't very likely to happen, we could also just fail
virtio_ccw_init() with -ENOMEM.

That is what I'm currently doing in v3.
