Provides a sysfs interface to view the AP matrix configured for the

The relevant sysfs structures are:

............ [devices]
...............[$uuid]
.................. matrix
To view the matrix configured for the mediated matrix device,
print the matrix file:
This is the configured matrix, not the one used by the guest.
Nothing in the patches protect against binding a queue and assigning
a new AP when the guest runs.
The card and queue will be showed by this entry.
Of course, as stated above, this is the matrix configured for the
mediated matrix device. Are you suggesting here that the driver
should prevent assigning a new adapter or domain while a guest is
running? Couldn't this be a step in the process for hot (un)plugging
AP queues?
No, I mean what is the point to show this?
It is not what the guest sees.
Has it any use case?
The point is to display the matrix so one can view the AP queues that
have been assigned to the mediated matrix device. This is the only way
to view the matrix. Do you not find value in being able to see what
has been assigned to the mediated matrix device?
