Two questions:
- Does the event cover _any_ change to the AP configuration, or can the
    periodic scan detect changes that are not signaled?
It can detect any change, such as a change to the CRYCB masks.
Nice. I suppose we can not rely on those messages being generated,
though, and therefore need to keep the periodic scan...
As you wrote, I am not sure if the ap bus code can rely on this to
cover all changes. For kvm guests I think it is currently not working
as there is no such notification generated at all. So I'd like to
have the periodic scan in place.

I verified that a dynamic change to the CRYCB (via the SE) is not
signaled by CHSC Adjunct Processor changed notification. Apparently only
configuration changes are signaled, so we will definitely need to keep
the scan unless somebody knows otherwise.

- Do we want to generate such an event in QEMU on plugging/unplugging
    the vfio-ap device?
We've discussed this quite a bit internally and decided not to implement
that at this time. We will address it as a future enhancement.
Ok, but I think it would be nice to have.

I'm guessing that a reporting source of 5 means ap, right? (The code is
silent on all those magic rs values :/)
The 5 indicates the accessibility of one or more adjunct processors has
changed. The reason this gets called is because the CC sent with the
instruction indicates the AP configuration has changed, so the reporting
belongs where it is. There is only one RS associated with it.
So if we'd ever get there anything but rs == 5, it would be a hardware
or hypervisor bug? Then the code makes sense, I guess.

If so, should the debug logging be moved after the check?
covered in the response above.
