Mdevctl requires a way to atomically query and atomically update a vfio-ap
mdev's current state. This patch set creates the ap_config sysfs attribute.
This new attribute allows reading and writing an mdev's entire state in one go.
If a newly written state is invalid for any reason the entire state is rejected
and the target mdev remains unchanged.
