Gah, they were split, I must have flubbed up a rebase on Friday :\
commit daeb9dd3a152e21d11960805b55e34967987e8cf
vfio/mdev: Remove vfio_mdev.c
Now that all mdev drivers directly create their own mdev_device driver and
directly register with the vfio core's vfio_device_ops this is all dead
code.
Delete vfio_mdev.c and the mdev_parent_ops members that are connected to
it.
Preserve VFIO's design of allowing mdev drivers to be !GPL by allowing the
three functions that replace this module for !GPL usage. This goes along
with the other 19 symbols that are already marked !GPL in VFIO.

Oh, right good point

See my other email for why it is like this..

VFIO is already !GPL - there are 19 symbols supporting this
today. What happened here is that this patch make all of those symbols
unusable !GPL by changing how registration works so you can't get the
vfio_device argument to use with the API family.
So, either the two registration functions need to be !GPL to make the
other 19 symbols make sense, or the entire !GPL needs to be ripped
out. The lost commit message above was explaining this.
Since it is predominately !GPL today, I'd prefer a discussion on
changing VFIO to be GPL only to be in its own patch proposing removing
all 22 !GPL symbols. Those are always fun threads..
