Building a kernel with the CLP device driver

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

Kernels that are built with PCIe support include the CLP device driver.

Kernel builders: This information is intended for those who want to build their own kernel. Be aware that both compiling your own kernel or recompiling an existing distribution usually means that you have to maintain your kernel yourself.

Select the common code CONFIG_PCI kernel configuration option to build a kernel with PCIe support. The CLP device driver is always built into the kernel image.
