Sorry I missed this earlier.
This testing is required for this patch, because this patch touches code
that is used for direct device assignment. Also for page accounting, all
cases are considered i.e. when there is only pass through device in a
container, when there is pass through device + vGPU device in a
container. Also have to test that pages are pinned properly when device
is hotplugged. In that case vfio_iommu_replay() is called to take
necessary action.

I'm testing this code with M60, with custom changes in our driver.
Steps how to create mediated device are listed in
Documentation/vfio-mediated-device.txt for sample mtty driver. Same
steps I'm following for GPU. Quoting those steps here for you:
2. Create a mediated device by using the dummy device that you created
in the
previous step.
# echo "83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001" > \
/sys/devices/virtual/mtty/mtty/mdev_supported_types/mtty-2/create
3. Add parameters to qemu-kvm.
-device vfio-pci,\
sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001
Thanks,
Kirti
