Rorie, this is to inform listeners on the host of the guest.
The guest itself already sees this "inside" with uevents triggered
by the AP bus code.
Do you have a consumer for these events?
There is a series of QEMU patches that register a notification handler
for this
event. When that handler gets called, it generates and queues a CRW to
the guest
indicating there is event information pending which will cause the AP
bus driver
to get notified of the AP configuration change via its ap_bus_cfg_chg
notifier call.
The QEMU series can be seen at:
