KVM: s390: CPU model support for AP virtualization
Introduces two new CPU model facilities to support
AP virtualization for KVM guests:
1. AP Query Configuration Information (QCI) facility is installed.
This is indicated by setting facilities bit 12 for
the guest. The kernel will not enable this facility
for the guest if it is not set on the host.
If this facility is not set for the KVM guest, then only
APQNs with an APQI less than 16 will be used by a Linux
guest regardless of the matrix configuration for the virtual
machine. This is a limitation of the Linux AP bus.
2. AP Facilities Test facility (APFT) is installed.
This is indicated by setting facilities bit 15 for
the guest. The kernel will not enable this facility for
the guest if it is not set on the host.
If this facility is not set for the KVM guest, then no
AP devices will be available to the guest regardless of
the guest's matrix configuration for the virtual
machine. This is a limitation of the Linux AP bus.
