I suppose we don't, in which case we don't need the
kvm_ap_interpret_instructions()
function either ... at least not until we implement interception.

As I stated above, at this time we probably do not need this, however;
that will not always be the case. The setting is and always will be for the
VM in all - unless the architecture changes - because it is controlled by a
single bit (ECA.28). If you recall, I originally set interpretation in the
vfio_ap device driver when notified of the VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM event.
I believe ultimately that it is the device driver that should set the value
for apie.

We do allow only one vfio-ap device at a time. QEMU will allow only one
vfio-ap device
to be configured for a guest. Should we also put a check in here?

See Message ID:
<1523819244-29954-5-git-send-email-akrowiak@linux.vnet.ibm.com> on the
qemu mailing list. There will be only one vfio-ap device allowed for the
MVP model.
