Prologue
========

This is series #3 in part of a larger work that arose from the minor
remark that the mdev_parent_ops indirection shim is useless and
complicates things.

It applies on top of Alex's current tree and requires the prior two
series.

This series achieves the removal of vfio_mdev.c. The future patches are all
focused on leveraging the changes made in the prior series to simplify the
API and device operation.

A preview of the future series's is here:
  https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/pull/3/commits

========

The mdev bus's core part for managing the lifecycle of devices is mostly
as one would expect for a driver core bus subsystem.

However instead of having a normal 'struct device_driver' and binding the
actual mdev drivers through the standard driver core mechanisms it open
codes this with the struct mdev_parent_ops and provides a single driver
that shims between the VFIO core and the actual device driver.

Make every one of the mdev drivers implement an actual struct mdev_driver
and directly call vfio_register_group_dev() in the probe() function for
the mdev.

Squash what is left of the mdev_parent_ops into the mdev_driver and remap
create(), remove() and mdev_attr_groups to their driver core
equivalents. Arrange to bind the created mdev_device to the mdev_driver
that is provided by the end driver.

The actual execution flow doesn't change much, eg what was
parent_ops->create is now device_driver->probe and it is called at almost
the exact same time - except under the normal control of the driver core.

This allows deleting the entire mdev_drvdata, and tidying some of the
sysfs. Many places in the drivers start using container_of()

This cleanly splits the mdev sysfs GUID lifecycle management stuff from
the vfio_device implementation part, the only VFIO special part of mdev
that remains is the mdev specific iommu intervention.

Thanks,
Jason
