We need to associate the ap_vfio_queue, which will hold the
per queue information for interrupt with a matrix mediated device
which hold the configuration and the way to the CRYCB.

Let's do this when assigning a APID or a APQI to the mediated device
and clear the relation when unassigning.

Queuing the devices on a list of free devices and testing the
matrix_mdev pointer to the associated matrix allow us to know
if the queue is associated to the matrix device and associated
or not to a mediated device.

When resetting an AP queue we must wait until there are no more
messages in the message queue before considering the queue is really
in a clean state.

Let's do it and wait until the status response code indicate the
queue is empty after issuing a PAPQ/ZAPQ instruction.

I'm a bit confused about the context where that list moving etc. is
supposed to take place.

You are confused because... it is confuse.


When are we assigning/deassigning? Is there even supposed to be any
activity that we need to zap on the queues?

No I mixed two functionalities here. It is not right.

I think I must:

- separate the simplification for the reset may be move the chunks to the previous patch as it is a simplification coming with the use of the lists or move them to a separate patch.

- make the commit message less confuse :)

Pierre
