The relaxed alignment simply loosens the rules on the PCISTB instruction 
so that it doesn't have to be on particular boundaries / have a minimum 
length restriction, these effectively allow ISM devices to use PCISTB 
instead of PCISTG for just about everything.  If you have a look at the 
patch "s390x/pci: Handle devices that support relaxed alignment" from 
the linked qemu set, you can get an idea of what the bit changes via the 
way qemu has to be more permissive of what the guest provides for PCISTB.

Re: emulated devices...  The S390 PCI I/O layer in the guest is always 
issuing strict? aligned I/O for PCISTB, and if it decided to later 
change that behavior it would need to look at this CLP bit to decide 
whether that would be a valid operation for a given PCI function anyway. 
  This bit will remain off in the CLP response we give for emulated 
devices, ensuring that should such a change occur in the guest s390 PCI 
I/O layer, we'd just continue getting strictly-aligned PCISTB.
