The contents of the ops structure is essentially defined by the id,
which is why I was leaning towards them being defined together.  They
are effectively interlocked, the id defines which mdev "endpoint"
driver is loaded and that driver requires mdev_get_dev_ops() to return
the structure required by the driver.  I wish there was a way we could
incorporate type checking here.  We toyed with the idea of having the
class in the same structure as the ops, but I think this approach was
chosen for simplicity.  We could still do something like:

int mdev_set_class_struct(struct device *dev, const struct mdev_class_struct *class);

struct mdev_class_struct {
	u16	id;
	union {
		struct vfio_mdev_ops vfio_ops;
		struct virtio_mdev_ops virtio_ops;
	};
};

Maybe even:

struct vfio_mdev_ops *mdev_get_vfio_ops(struct mdev_device *mdev) {
	BUG_ON(mdev->class.id != MDEV_ID_VFIO);
	return &mdev->class.vfio_ops;
}

The match callback would of course just use the mdev->class.id value.
Functionally equivalent, but maybe better type characteristics.  Thanks,

Alex
