(answering the V1 thread first. Content related comments will follow in V2 thread)

s390/netiucv is more or less in maintenance mode and we are not aware of any users.
The enterprise distros do not provide this module. Other iucv modules are more popular.
But afaiu we cannot remove the source code, unless we can prove that nobody is using it.
(Community advice is welcome).

Yunseong, I'd be interested in why you are running this module with QEMU on your
Mac PC?
