This is what I had in the previous patches.
Hum, I do not remember which discussion lead me to modify this.

Anyway, now that you put the finger on this problem, I think the problem 
is worse.

The behavior with old / new Linux, vfio driver and qemu is:

LINUX	VFIO_AP	QEMU	PGM
OLD	x	x	OPERATION
NEW	-	OLD	SPECIFICATION
NEW	-	NEW/aqic=off	SPECIFICATION
NEW	x	NEW/aqic=on	-

x = whatever
- = absent/none

So yes there is a change in behavior for the userland for the case QEMU 
do not set the AQIC facility 65, OLD QEMU or NEW QEMU wanting to behave 
like an older one.

I fear we have the same problem with the privileged operation...

For the last case, when the kvm_facility(65) is set, the explication is 
the following:

This is related to the handling of PQAP AQIC which is now authorized by 
this patch series.
If we authorize PQAP AQIC, by setting the bit for facility 65, the guest 
can use this instruction.
If the instruction follows the specifications we must answer something 
realistic and since there is nothing in the CRYCB (no driver) we answer 
that there is no queue.

Conclusion:  we must handle this in userland, it will have the benefit 
to keep old behavior when there is no callback.
OLD QEMU will not see change as they will not set aqic facility
NEW QEMU will handle this correctly.

In this case we also do not need to handle all other tests here but can 
move it to the callback as Tony wanted.

Would you agree with something simple like:

static int handle_pqap(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
         int ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;

         /* Verify that the hook callback is registered and call it */
         if (pqap_hook)
                 if (try_module_get(pqap_hook->owner)) {
                         ret = pqap_hook->hook(vcpu);
                         module_put(pqap_hook->owner);
                 }
         return ret;
}

All other tests in QEMU and in the callback.

Thanks for the comments.

Pierre
