[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 01/14] vfio: Start adding VFIO/EEH interface

2015-09-19 Thread David Gibson
At present the code handling IBM's Enhanced Error Handling (EEH) interface on VFIO devices operates by bypassing the usual VFIO logic with vfio_container_ioctl(). That's a poorly designed interface with unclear semantics about exactly what can be operated on. As a first step to cleaning that up,
