Message

This patch series introduces hot plug/unplug of a vfio-ap device.

A vfio-ap device can be hot plugged only if:

1. The guest does not yet have a vfio-ap device (only one is allowed
   per guest)

2. The guest was started with the following CPU model features enabled:
   * ap=on
   * apft=on

To hot plug a vfio-ap device, the QEMU device_add function may be used:

   (qemu) device_add vfio-ap,sysfsdev=$path-to-mdev

   Where $path-to-mdev is the absolute path to the mediated matrix device
   to be used to configure the guest's AP device matrix.

A vfio-ap device can be hot unplugged only if:

1. The guest was started with a vfio-ap device configured for it:

   -device vfio-ap,sysfsdev=$path-to-mdev

2. The guest was started with the following CPU model features enabled:
   * ap=on
