  - KVM: s390: pci: Validate AIBV and AISB before pinning guest pages The AIBV holds one bit per MSI-X vector
    for a given function. The size of the bit vector is derived from the NOI and the AIBVO. If the size of the
    AIBV exceeds a single page boundary, then reject the request as we cannot safely pin the guest AIBV.
    Similarly reject the request if the AISB address is not 8-byte aligned as the architecture requires
    doubleword alignment for the summary bit address. Since the AISBO can address up to 64 bits, the size of
    the AISB can only be 8 bytes for the function. This also ensures the AISB doesn't exceed a single page
    boundary. (CVE-2026-80891)
