Hello Jonathon,

While testing the patches, I noticed that a mdev is listed with virsh 
nodedev-list,
even after the mdev device is undefined and is not available in mdevctl. 
I have provided
below the test results for your reference.

$ lsmod | grep vfio_ap
vfio_ap                28672  0
kvm                   454656  1 vfio_ap
mdev                   24576  3 vfio_ccw,vfio_mdev,vfio_ap
vfio                   36864  5 
vfio_ccw,vfio_mdev,vfio_iommu_type1,vfio_pci,vfio_ap

$ ./tools/virsh nodedev-list --all | grep ap_matrix
ap_matrix

$ ./tools/virsh nodedev-list --cap mdev --inactive

$ ./tools/virsh nodedev-define ../../mdev-inactive.xml
Node device 'mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598' defined from 
'../../mdev-inactive.xml'

$ ./tools/virsh nodedev-dumpxml mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598
<device>
<name>mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598</name>
   <parent>css_0_0_0024</parent>
   <capability type='mdev'>
     <type id='vfio_ccw-io'/>
     <uuid>9eb4280d-2752-429a-b91b-813b4a5f4598</uuid>
     <iommuGroup number='0'/>
   </capability>
</device>

$ ./tools/virsh nodedev-list --cap mdev --inactive
mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598

$ ./tools/virsh *nodedev-undefine* mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598
Undefined node device 'mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598'

$ ./tools/virsh nodedev-list --cap mdev --inactive
mdev_9eb4280d_2752_429a_b91b_813b4a5f4598

$ mdevctl list --defined
