The VFIO "driver" is used to allow privileged AND non-privileged processes to
implement user-level device drivers for any well-behaved PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe

This version now requires an IOMMU domain to be set before any access to
device registers is granted (except that config space may be read).  In
addition, the VFIO_DMA_MAP_ANYWHERE is dropped - it used the dma_map_sg API
which does not have sufficient controls around IOMMU usage.  The IOMMU domain
is obtained from the 'uiommu' driver which is included in this patch.

Various locking, security, and documentation issues have also been fixed.

Please commit - it or me!
But seriously, who gets to commit this? Avi for KVM?

Definitely not me.

or GregKH for drivers?

I guess.
