I had already suggested PPC_BIT(0) but since this macro was copied
from the kernel source, I've let Vaibhav decide whether to use
PPC_BIT() or keep the macro and comment it comes from the kernel.

I agree I prefer PPC_BIT(0) :-)

Especially, this define doesn't make sense for the hypervisor IMHO.

It is _just_ the mask of bits for the "unarmed" state in the kernel.

Yes. As already suggested, simply do the same as in other hcall
implementations in this file, e.g. from h_scm_bind_mem() :

    if (!drc || !drc->dev ||
        spapr_drc_type(drc) != SPAPR_DR_CONNECTOR_TYPE_PMEM) {
        return H_PARAMETER;
    }

Not sure this comment is super useful.

I still think this is a misuse of PAPR_PMEM_UNARMED_MASK... The
meaning of args[1] is "health-bit-valid-bitmap indicate which
bits in health-bitmap are valid" according to the documentation.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/powerpc/papr_hcalls.rst#n228

Without any further detail, I tend to consider this as a hint
to the guest on the bits supported by the hypervisor. Since
we can only set PAPR_PMEM_UNARMED, for now, args[1] should
be set to just that bit PAPR_PMEM_UNARMED. Other bits can
be added later if QEMU supports more of them.
