SYNOPSIS
int ccw_device_start(struct ccw_device * cdev, struct ccw1 * cpa,
unsigned long intparm, __u8 lpm,
unsigned long flags);
ARGUMENTS
- cdev
- target ccw device
- cpa
- logical start address of channel program
- intparm
- user specific interruption parameter; will be presented back to
cdev´s interrupt handler. Allows a device driver to associate the interrupt with a particular I/O request. - lpm

RETURNS
0, if the operation was successful; -EBUSY, if the device is busy, or
status pending; -EACCES, if no path specified in lpm is operational;
-ENODEV, if the device is not operational.
