<p>
Before creating a mediated device, unbind the device from the respective
device driver, eg. subchannel I/O driver for a CCW device. Then bind the
device to the respective VFIO driver. For a CCW device, also unbind the
corresponding subchannel of the CCW device from the subchannel I/O driver
and then bind the subchannel (instead of the CCW device) to the vfio_ccw
driver. The below example shows the unbinding and binding steps for a CCW
device.

<pre>
device="0.0.1234"
subchannel="0.0.0123"
echo $device &gt; /sys/bus/ccw/devices/$device/driver/unbind
echo $subchannel &gt; /sys/bus/css/devices/$subchannel/driver/unbind
echo $subchannel &gt; /sys/bus/css/drivers/vfio_ccw/bind

To manually instantiate a mediated device, use one of the following as a
reference:

ID.
