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.
