With this all KVM guests will always have the AP instructions available, no?
In principles I like this approach, but it differs from the way z/VM does things,
there the guest will get an exception if it tries to execute an AP instruction
if there are no AP devices assigned to the guest. I wonder if there is a reason
why z/VM does it the way it does.
