Introduces a new AP device driver. This device driver
is built on the VFIO mediated device framework. The framework
provides sysfs interfaces that facilitate passthrough
access by guests to devices installed on the linux host.

The VFIO AP device driver will serve two purposes:

1. Provide the interfaces to reserve AP devices for exclusive
    use by KVM guests. This is accomplished by unbinding the
    devices to be reserved for guest usage from the default AP
    device driver and binding them to the VFIO AP device driver.

2. Implements the functions, callbacks and sysfs attribute
    interfaces required to create one or more VFIO mediated
    devices each of which will be used to configure the AP
    matrix for a guest and serve as a file descriptor
    for facilitating communication between QEMU and the
    VFIO AP device driver.

When the VFIO AP device driver is initialized:

* It registers with the AP bus for control of type 10 (CEX4
   and newer) AP queue devices. The probe and remove callbacks
   will be provided to support the binding/unbinding of
   AP queue devices to/from the VFIO AP device driver.

* Creates a /sys/devices/vfio-ap/matrix device to hold
   the APQNs of the AP devices bound to the VFIO
   AP device driver and serves as the parent of the
   mediated devices created for each guest.

VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE is a general feature *needed* by VFIO_AP
and has no use case by its own. If it is set it is obviously because some
mediated device drivers needs it.
while ZCRYPT is a Z feature which may be set without VFIO_AP.

So you need:

config VFIO_AP
    def_tristate n
    prompt "VFIO support for AP devices"
    depends on ZCRYPT
    select VFIO_MDEV
    select VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE
