Why plural ('facilities')? Would not s/facilities/instructions be more end-user
friendly?

It's a matter of opinion. I prefer facilities because AP is comprised of not 
only
instructions, but also AP processors.

Please elaborate. You mean processors like AP cards? If yes what if the matrix 
is
empty (e.g. the state we decided is the default when no further action is taken
(assign queues to the vfio-ap kernel driver, set up an mdev, -device vfio-ap on
qemu cmd line))?

I just wanted to point out that this plural is very vague. Not speaking about 
that
QCI should be an AP facility too, but is not included in this 'features' and is 
not
covered by this cpu model feature. It has it's own cpu model feature and even a
dedicated STFLE bit.

Halil
