The mdev remove callback for the vfio_ap device driver bails out with
-EBUSY if the mdev is in use by a KVM guest. The intended purpose was
to prevent the mdev from being removed while in use; however, returning a
non-zero rc does not prevent removal. This could result in a memory leak
of the resources allocated when the mdev was created. In addition, the
KVM guest will still have access to the AP devices assigned to the mdev
even though the mdev no longer exists.

To prevent this scenario, cleanup will be done - including unplugging the
AP adapters, domains and control domains - regardless of whether the mdev
is in use by a KVM guest or not.

Can you please ensure this goes to a -rc branch or through Alex's
tree?

I'm sorry, I don't know what a -rc branch is nor how to push this
to Alex's tree, but I'd be happy to do so if you tell me now:)


Thanks,
Jason
