IMHO this patch only makes sense when the objective of Tony's patch is
accomplished. We do have to wait when we need to give up resources or do
stuff like subsystem reset. But I don't think we should introduce
artificial waits when interpreting AQIC: it should be up to the guest to
handle this stuff, as it is in LPAR.
Sure I can send a separate patch and state in the cover lette that it
builds on top of 'vfio-ap: remove unnecessary calls to disable queue
interrupts'.
And yes the commit message is sloppy. Was not meant to end up in the
changelog. Just a quick and dirty explanation.
