Linus Torvalds edc5f445a6 VFIO updates for v4.10-rc1
- VFIO updates for v4.10 primarily include a new Mediated Device
    interface, which essentially allows software defined devices to be
    exposed to users through VFIO.  The host vendor driver providing
    this virtual device polices, or mediates user access to the device.
    These devices often incorporate portions of real devices, for
    instance the primary initial users of this interface expose vGPUs
    which allow the user to map mediated devices, or mdevs, to a
    portion of a physical GPU.  QEMU composes these mdevs into PCI
    representations using the existing VFIO user API.  This enables
    both Intel KVM-GT support, which is also expected to arrive into
    Linux mainline during the v4.10 merge window, as well as NVIDIA
    vGPU, and also Channel I/O devices (aka CCW devices) for s390
    virtualization support. (Kirti Wankhede, Neo Jia)
 
  - Drop unnecessary uses of pcibios_err_to_errno() (Cao Jin)
 
  - Fixes to VFIO capability chain handling (Eric Auger)
 
  - Error handling fixes for fallout from mdev (Christophe JAILLET)
 
  - Notifiers to expose struct kvm to mdev vendor drivers (Jike Song)
 
  - type1 IOMMU model search fixes (Kirti Wankhede, Neo Jia)
