It is not vfio-core, it is vfio-pci-core. It is similar to how some of
the fops stuff works, eg the generic_file whatever functions everyone
puts in.

It would be improved a bit by making the ops struct mutable and
populating it at runtime like we do in RDMA. Then the PCI ops and
driver ops could be merged together without the repetition.

Probably something that is more interesting if there are more drivers
as it is a fair amount of typing to make.
