This patch series introduces hot plug/unplug of a vfio-ap device.

To hot plug a vfio-ap device, the QEMU device_add function may be used:

    (qemu) device_add vfio-ap,sysfsdev=$path-to-mdev

    Where $path-to-mdev is the absolute path to the mediated matrix device
    to which AP resources to be used by the guest have been assigned.

    A vfio-ap device can be hot plugged only if:

    1. A vfio-ap device has not been attached to the ap-bus (only one is
       allowed per guest) either via the QEMU command line or a prior hot
       plug action.

    2. The guest was started with the CPU model feature for AP enabled
       (e.g., -cpu host,ap=on).

To hot unplug a vfio-ap device, the QEMU device-del function may be used:

    (qemu) device_del vfio-ap,sysfsdev=$path-to-mdev

    Where $path-to-mdev is the absolute path to the mediated matrix device
    specified when the vfio-ap device was attached to the virtual machine's
    ap-bus.

    A vfio-ap device can be hot unplugged only if:

In the meantime, the signature of qbus_set_hotplug_handler() has
changed to take an Object instead of a DeviceState, but I just went
ahead and did that trivial change myself.

Thanks, applied.

Thanks Connie.
