> Change log:
>   patch v2 -> patch v3:
>   - refresh the disable_idle_d3, disable_vga and nointxmask config
>     according to user config in device open.
>   - add a semaphore around the vfio-pci cap/ecap perm bits allocation/free
>   - drop the non-singleton iommu group support to keep it simple as it's
>     a sample driver for now.
> 
>   patch v1 -> patch v2:
>   - the sample driver implementation refined
>   - the sample driver can work on non-singleton iommu groups
>   - the sample driver can work with vfio-pci, devices from a non-singleton
>     group can either be bound to vfio-mdev-pci or vfio-pci, and the
>     assignment of this group still follows current vfio assignment rule.
> 
>   RFC v3 -> patch v1:
>   - split the patchset from 3 patches to 9 patches to better demonstrate
>     the changes step by step
> 
>   rfc 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
> 
>   rfc 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"
