Changelog:

v2:
- removed warnings that weren't needed
- added unregister function
- removed whitelines
- changed variable names for consistency
- removed rc variable and returning 1 or 0 outright
- reversed logics for if statements
- using g_free() instead of free()
- replaced hardcoded numeric values by defining them with #define
in the header 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch series creates and registers a handler that is called when
userspace is notified by the kernel that a guest's AP configuration has
changed. The handler in turn notifies the guest that its AP configuration
has changed. This allows the guest to immediately respond to AP
configuration changes rather than relying on polling or some other
inefficient mechanism for detecting config changes.
