This patchset aims to add a vfio-pci-like meta driver as a demo
user of the vfio changes introduced in "vfio/mdev: IOMMU aware
mediated device" patchset from Baolu Lu. Besides the test purpose,
per Alex's comments, it could also be a good base driver for
experimenting with device specific mdev migration.
Specific interface tested in this proposal:
*) int mdev_set_iommu_device(struct device *dev,
struct device *iommu_device)
introduced in the patch as below:
"[PATCH v5 6/8] vfio/mdev: Add iommu related member in mdev_device"
Patch Overview:
*) patch 1 ~ 7: code refactor for existing vfio-pci module
move the common codes from vfio_pci.c to
vfio_pci_common.c
*) patch 8: add protection to perm_bits alloc/free
*) patch 9: add vfio-mdev-pci sample driver

Change log:
RFC v3 -> patch v1:
- split the patchset from 3 patches to 9 patches to better demonstrate
the changes step by step
v2->v3:
- use vfio-mdev-pci instead of vfio-pci-mdev
- place the new driver under drivers/vfio/pci while define
Kconfig in samples/Kconfig to clarify it is a sample driver
v1->v2:
- instead of adding kernel option to existing vfio-pci
module in v1, v2 follows Alex's suggestion to add a
separate vfio-pci-mdev module.
- new patchset subject: "vfio/pci: wrap pci device as a mediated device"
Liu Yi L (9):
vfio_pci: move vfio_pci_is_vga/vfio_vga_disabled to header
vfio_pci: refine user config reference in vfio-pci module
vfio_pci: refine vfio_pci_driver reference in vfio_pci.c
vfio_pci: make common functions be extern
vfio_pci: duplicate vfio_pci.c
vfio_pci: shrink vfio_pci_common.c
vfio_pci: shrink vfio_pci.c
vfio/pci: protect cap/ecap_perm bits alloc/free with atomic op
smaples: add vfio-mdev-pci driver
