---Problem Description---
The vfio-ap driver will create a matrix device in sysfs without a subsystem link. This triggers failures in libudev that might also lead to libvirt errors (e.g. see https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-February/msg00837.html)

The proper fix is to add a subsystem link (e.g. by providing a dummy bus).

A fix for that is upstream in master branch already for kernel 5.1

This need to be applied to Bionic, Cosmic and Disco
