Well if that is the case then provided your fix precedes this patch:
Acked-by: Halil Pasic <pasic@linux.ibm.com>
I'm not entirely happy with this. I did not thoroughly investigate the
implications of reversing the locking order of the vfio-ap lock (driver
global) and the kvm lock (guest specific). I will trust Tony and hope
our KVM maintainers will scream if this is bad from interference and
delay perspective.

Halil
