Linus Torvalds 45cb5230f8 VFIO updates for v4.6-rc1
Various enablers for assignment of Intel graphics devices and future
 support of vGPU devices (Alex Williamson).  This includes
 
  - Handling the vfio type1 interface as an API rather than a specific
    implementation, allowing multiple type1 providers.
 
  - Capability chains, similar to PCI device capabilities, that allow
    extending ioctls.  Extensions here include device specific regions
    and sparse mmap descriptions.  The former is used to expose non-PCI
    regions for IGD, including the OpRegion (particularly the Video
    BIOS Table), and read only PCI config access to the host and LPC
    bridge as drivers often depend on identifying those devices.
    Sparse mmaps here are used to describe the MSIx vector table,
    which vfio has always protected from mmap, but never had an API to
    explicitly define that protection.  In future vGPU support this is
    expected to allow the description of PCI BARs that may mix direct
    access and emulated access within a single region.
 
  - The ability to expose the shadow ROM as an option ROM as IGD use
    cases may rely on the ROM even though the physical device does not
    make use of a PCI option ROM BAR.
