To do so, we'd have to either call machine_get_zpcii_disable directly 
from here or duplicate the work machine_get_zpcii_disable does by 
casting the machine to S390CcwMachineState so we could look at 
ms->zpcii_disabled.  We can't call machine_get_zpcii_disable directly 
as-is, it's a static routine in s390-virtio-ccw.c -- making a 'getter' 
routine public seems wrong, so we are left with recreating the cast and 
looking at ms->zpcii_disabled here; but as far as I can figure the point 
is to have a unified interface for querying a machine property value via 
object_property_get_*().  Why wouldn't we use that interface?

FWIW, I modeled this after the way we today handle aes-key-wrap in 
target/s390x/kvm/kvm.c and loadparm in hw/s390x/ipl.c (albeit we use 
object_property_get_str for the latter since it's a different property 
type).
