Adds the vfio_ap.h file used to transfer vfio device capabilities to
userspace in response to the VFIO_DEVICE_GET_INFO ioctl. The device
capabilities includes an object specifying the vfio device attributes.
This object contains a flag indicating whether the vfio device is
migratable.
Note: The migratable flag could have been returned as a capability
unto itself, but returning it as one attribute of a set of
attributes allows for this capability to easily be extended
to include additional attributes in the future if need be.
