Nobody is proposing to make everything VFIO. there must be some
criteria which can be brainstormed in LPC. But the opposite also holds - 
the fact that we should not make everything VFIO doesn't imply
prohibition on anyone from using it. There is a clear difference between 
passthrough and userspace DMA requirements in idxd context, and we
see good reasons to use VFIO for our passthrough requirements.


Thanks
