No need to duplicate every function name with the below list. Probably
just say that "Following interfaces are called when devices are bound
to and unbound from the driver:"

"issued when vfio_device is initialized and released"

> +- The open/close_device callbacks are issued when a new file descriptor is
> +  created for a device (via VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD).
> +- The ioctl interface provides a direct pass through for VFIO_DEVICE_* ioctls.
