I'm a little confused. I do agree that in handle_pqap() we do want to
make sure that we only operate on queues that belong to the given guest
that issued the PQAP instruction.

AFAICT with this patch set applied, this is not the case any more. Does
that 'will be done there instead' refer to v11?

Another question is, can we use vfio_ap_get_mdev_queue() in
handle_pqap() (instead of vfio_ap_get_queue())?
