Yes, several typically. One for each I/O device attached to the LPAR.

As far as I understood, there is a 1-to-1 relation between CHPIDs and
channel paths, but they are not the same. For example, there are only
256 CHPIDs per system available, compared to 2^16 channel paths.

Here's a freely available version of the PoP:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/sites/default/files/inline-files/690450_SA22-7832-03.pdf
I/O is described in chapter 13.

We have never seen those, but we would want to add them here if they
have no relevance for the user.

Simply because they were not relevant for the user at that time. For the
typical Linux user, the channel subsystem was an implementaion detail of
I/O and every interaction with I/O devices happenend via the
corresponding CCW device. That's why I didn't implement them in the
first place. This changes now (unfortunately) with mdevs, so we might
want this information in libvirt.

Thanks a bunch. Understandably, I am not too deeply into I/O and I am
also confused more times than I'd like to admit. Maybe Boris can give
some more details.
