+ * @cp: channel_program on which to perform the operation
+ *
+ * This function translates the guest-physical-address channel program
+ * and stores the result to ccwchain list. @cp must have been
+ * initialized by a previous call with cp_init(). Otherwise, undefined
+ * behavior occurs.
+ *
+ * The S/390 CCW Translation APIS (prefixed by 'cp_') are introduced
+ * as helpers to do ccw chain translation inside the kernel. Basically
+ * they accept a channel program issued by a virtual machine, and
+ * translate the channel program to a real-device runnable channel
+ * program.
+ *
+ * These APIs will copy the ccws into kernel-space buffers, and update
+ * the guest phsical addresses with their corresponding host physical
+ * addresses.  Then channel I/O device drivers could issue the
+ * translated channel program to real devices to perform an I/O
+ * operation.
+ *
+ * These interfaces are designed to support translation only for
+ * channel programs, which are generated and formatted by a
+ * guest. Thus this will make it possible for things like VFIO to
+ * leverage the interfaces to passthrough a channel I/O mediated
+ * device in QEMU.
+ *
+ * We support direct ccw chaining by translating them to idal ccws.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ *   %0 on success and a negative error value on failure.
