and neighboring commits, it sounds that each create() should be paired
with either destroy() or release() but not necessarily both.
I agree, if release() is implemented then destroy() will never be called
(except in error situations).
kvm_destroy_devices() should not be touched, except to add a WARN_ON
perhaps.
So I'm really not sure dummy handlers is a good idea. Thanks,
But in that case shouldn't kvm_ioctl_create_device also try
ops->release, i.e.
