This statement is wrong. The instructions can be interpreted by SIE e.g.
if there are no devices assigned to a guest. This is e.g. the case for
!CONFIG_ZCRYPT.

Also, doesn't this directly imply that the other execution control
should also not be used ("intercept AP instuctions"). This would be bad.
Just because !CONFIG_ZCRYPT does not imply that you can't emulate AP
devices for a guest.

Why isn't it sufficient to glue CONFIG_ZCRYPT to vfio-ap? This would
make more sense in my opinion. You have no "host devices" that you can
"pass through". But you can still emulate devices or emulate an empty bus.
