From: Eric Auger <eric.auger@xxxxxxxxxx>
The VFIO external user API is enriched with 3 new functions that
allows a kernel user external to VFIO to retrieve some information
from a VFIO device.
- vfio_device_get_external_user enables to get a vfio device from
its fd and increments its reference counter
- vfio_device_put_external_user decrements the reference counter
- vfio_external_base_device returns a handle to the struct device
