yes, you are right, handle as a pointer is much better. will change it.

do you think below flow is good ?
1. in mediate_ops->open(), return
(1) region[] indexed by region index, if a mediate driver supports mediating
region[i], region[i].ops->get_region_info, regions[i].ops->rw, or
regions[i].ops->mmap is not null.
(2) irq_info[] indexed by irq index, if a mediate driver supports mediating
irq_info[i], irq_info[i].ops->get_irq_info or irq_info[i].ops->set_irq_info
is not null.
Then, vfio_pci_rw/vfio_pci_mmap/vfio_pci_ioctl only call into those
non-null hooks.

May I confirm that you are not saying dynamic registering mediate ops
after vfio-pci already opened a device, right?

could we still keep checking return value of the hooks rather than
export default handlers? Otherwise at least vfio_pci_default_ioctl(),
vfio_pci_default_rw(), and vfio_pci_default_mmap() need to be exported.

Currently, yes, i40e has build dependency on vfio-pci.
It's like this, if i40e decides to support SRIOV and compiles in vf
related code who depends on vfio-pci, it will also have build dependency
on vfio-pci. isn't it natural?

I intended to prevent mediate driver from calling unregister mediate ops
while there're still opened devices in it.
after a successful mediate_ops->open(), mentry->refcnt++.
after calling mediate_ops->release(). mentry->refcnt--.
(seems in this RFC, I missed a mentry->refcnt-- after calling
mediate_ops->release())

mediate driver is supposed to ref its own module on a success
mediate_ops->open(), and deref its own module on mediate_ops->release().
so, it can't be accidentally removed.
