In this patch, an eventfd object is created by the vfio_ap device driver and used to notify userspace when a guests's AP configuration is dynamically changed. Such changes may occur whenever: * An adapter, domain or control domain is assigned to or unassigned from a mediated device that is attached to the guest. * A queue assigned to the mediated device that is attached to a guest is bound to or unbound from the vfio_ap device driver. This can occur either by manually binding/unbinding the queue via the vfio_ap driver's sysfs bind/unbind attribute interfaces, or because an adapter, domain or control domain assigned to the mediated device is added to or removed from the host's AP configuration via an SE/HMC The purpose of this patch is to provide immediate notification of changes made to a guest's AP configuration by the vfio_ap driver. This will enable the guest to take immediate action rather than relying on polling or some other inefficient mechanism to detect changes to its AP configuration. Note that there are corresponding QEMU patches that will be shipped along with this patch (see vfio-ap: Report vfio-ap configuration changes) that will pick up the eventfd signal.
