I don't quite understand what do you mean by this paragraph. Especially
not what do you mean by 'just continue to respond with the OPERATION
exception here'.

In any case if the guest is supposed to have ap instructions, and does
not have facility 65 the right answer is specification and not operation
exception. And this has to work regardless of vfio-ap module loaded or
not.
