This will be the first intel vfio-pci variant driver, I don't think we
need an intel sub-directory just yet.

Tangentially, I think an issue we're running into with
PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO is that we require driver_override to
bind the device and therefore the id_table becomes little more than a
suggestion.  Our QE is already asking, for example, if they should use
mlx5-vfio-pci for all mlx5 compatible devices.

I wonder if all vfio-pci variant drivers that specify an id_table
shouldn't include in their probe function:

	if (!pci_match_id(pdev, id)) {
		pci_info(pdev, "Incompatible device, disallowing driver_override\n");
		return -ENODEV;
	}

(And yes, I see the irony that vfio introduced driver_override and
we've created variant drivers that require driver_override and now we
want to prevent driver_overrides)

Jason, are you seeing any of this as well and do you have a better
suggestion how we might address the issue?  Thanks,

Alex
