s390/vfio-ap: Add write support to sysfs attr ap_config
Allow writing a complete set of masks to ap_config. Doing so will
cause the vfio-ap driver to replace the vfio-ap mediated device's
matrix masks with the given set of masks. If the given state cannot
be set, then no changes are made to the vfio-ap mediated device.
The format of the data written to ap_config is as follows:
{amask},{dmask},{cmask}\n
\n is a newline character.
amask, dmask, and cmask are masks identifying which adapters, domains,
and control domains should be assigned to the mediated device.
The format of a mask is as follows:
0xNN..NN
Where NN..NN is 64 hexadecimal characters representing a 256-bit value.
The leftmost (highest order) bit represents adapter/domain 0.
For an example set of masks that represent your mdev's current
configuration, simply cat ap_config.
This attribute is intended to be used by an mdevctl callout script
supporting the mdev type vfio_ap-passthrough to atomically update a
vfio-ap mediated device's state.
