I indeed had a version where the direct function calls are Implemented in
QAT driver, while when I look at the functions, most of them 
only translate the interface to the ops pointer. That's why I put
ops pointers directly into vfio variant driver.

I think that's still required to make the migration state synchronized
if the VF is reset by other VFIO emulation paths. Is it the case? 
BTW, this implementation is not only in mlx5 driver, but also in other
Vfio pci variant drivers such as hisilicon acc driver and pds driver.
