I understand your confusion, so here is what I'm going to do
to clear things up. I will leave the signature of the vfio_ap_get_queue()
function the same and leave in the bitmap checking. As per your
comment below, in patch 3 I will replace the call to
vfio_ap_get_queue() with a call to vfio_ap_get_mdev_queue().
Since the vfio_ap_get_mdev_queue() function is mdev-specific,
I can then remove the mdev parameter from the
vfio_ap_get_queue() function since it will no longer be needed.

Yes, we can and should do that as it will eliminate both the need to
test the matrix bitmasks and several lines of code; however, that
function is not available until patch 3/16, so that change will be
made there.
