Introduces a new CPU model feature and two CPU model
facilities to support AP virtualization for KVM guests.

CPU model feature:

The KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP feature indicates that
AP instructions are available on the guest. This
feature will be enabled by the kernel only if the AP
instructions are installed on the linux host. This feature
must be specifically turned on for the KVM guest from
userspace to use the VFIO AP device driver for guest
access to AP devices.

CPU model facilities:

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. This facility
    must not be set by userspace if the KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP
    feature is not installed.
Could it happen on real HW (not frankenstein CPU models), that

!AP, but STFL 12 or 15  are indicated?

I suspect that if AP instructions are not installed, then neither
STFLE.12 nor STFLE.15 would be set in the real hardware. This
comment, however, is talking about an administrator setting the
facility for a guest, not real hardware. Having said that and after
thinking about it a little more, I am going to remove that last sentence
because the CPU model configuration (e.g., as specified on the qemu
command line) will fail if the QCI or APFT facility is enabled when the
CPU model feature KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP is not.


    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. This facility
    must not be set by userspace if the KVM_S390_VM_CPU_FEAT_AP
    feature is not installed.

    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.
