Remove the explicit prefetch check when using vfio-ccw devices. This check does not trigger in practice as all Linux channel programs are intended to use prefetch. It is expected that all ORBs issued by Linux will request prefetch. Although non-prefetching ORBs are not rejected, they will prefetch nonetheless. A warning is issued up to once per 5 seconds when a forced prefetch occurs. A non-prefetch ORB does not necessarily result in an error, however frequent encounters with non-prefetch ORBs indicate that channel programs are being executed in a way that is inconsistent with what the guest is requesting. While there is currently no known case of an error caused by forced prefetch, it is possible in theory that forced prefetch could result in an error if applied to a channel program that is dependent on non-prefetch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
