This sample driver creates mdev device that simulate virtio net device

driver to work.

Only 'virtio' type is supported right now. I plan to add 'vhost' type
on top which requires some virtual IOMMU implemented in this sample
driver.
Can we please submit a real driver for it?  A more or less useless
sample driver doesn't really qualify for our normal kernel requirements
that infrastructure should have a real user.

Hello Christoph,

I am working on a real hardware driver for it, it's called IFC, I have posted RFC V1 and will post RFC V2 soon.

Thanks,
