Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
"Various enablers for assignment of Intel graphics devices and future
support of vGPU devices (Alex Williamson). This includes
- Handling the vfio type1 interface as an API rather than a specific
implementation, allowing multiple type1 providers.
- Capability chains, similar to PCI device capabilities, that allow
extending ioctls. Extensions here include device specific regions
and sparse mmap descriptions. The former is used to expose non-PCI
regions for IGD, including the OpRegion (particularly the Video
BIOS Table), and read only PCI config access to the host and LPC
bridge as drivers often depend on identifying those devices.
Sparse mmaps here are used to describe the MSIx vector table, which
vfio has always protected from mmap, but never had an API to
explicitly define that protection. In future vGPU support this is
expected to all...
