This series implements features provisioning for ifcvf.
By applying this series, we allow userspace to create
a vDPA device with selected (management device supported)
feature bits and mask out others.
I don't see a direct relationship between the first 3 and the last.
Maybe you can state the reason why the restructure is a must for the
feature provisioning. Otherwise, we'd better split the series.
When introducing features provisioning ability to ifcvf, there is a need to re-create vDPA devices
on a VF with different feature bits.

When remove a vDPA device, the container of struct vdpa_device (here is ifcvf_adapter) is free-ed in dev_del() interface, so we need to allocate ifcvf_adapter in dev_add() than in probe(). That's
why I have re-factored the adapter/mgmt_dev code.

For re-factoring the irq related code and ifcvf_base, let them work on struct ifcvf_hw, the reason is that the adapter is allocated in dev_add(), if we want theses functions to work before dev_add(), like in probe, we need them work on ifcvf_hw than the adapter.

Thanks

Please help review

Thanks

Zhu Lingshan (4):
   vDPA/ifcvf: ifcvf base layer interfaces work on struct ifcvf_hw
   vDPA/ifcvf: IRQ interfaces work on ifcvf_hw
   vDPA/ifcvf: allocate ifcvf_adapter in dev_add()
   vDPA/ifcvf: implement features provisioning
