Don't we have a SIE specific AP feature? So is it true, that once we
have AP instructions, we are allowed to use them for SIE? Isn't there a
"AP interpretation facility" or anything like that? (that unlocks ECA_APIE)

So only if this feature is enabled, we later on allow to
kvm_ap_enable_ie_mode, right?

So basically, without this feature:

1. We will never set the execution control ECA_APIE.
2. The masks will always be 0.

Which also results in VSIE never having masks set.
