Hi all,

There have been discussions and attempts [1][2] to rework the vfio-ccw device
lifecycle to better align with the needs/expectations of vfio and mdev.
While those languished, commit cb9ff3f3b84c ("vfio: Add helpers for unifying
vfio_device life cycle") implemented a couple of tricks that help vfio and the
drivers that interact with it, while keeping vfio-ccw as-is. A handful of
commits titled "vfio/xxx: Use the new device life cycle helpers" implemented
those tricks for each of the drivers.

This series attempts to address the oddities/shortcomings of vfio-ccw, such
that vfio-ccw can use the same helpers as everyone else, and the tricks that
were implemented by the other drivers can be removed. It is built on 6.1-rc1,
and thus includes the various changes [3][4] that have occurred in and around
these parts.

Patches 1-5 rework the behavior of the vfio-ccw driver's private struct.
In summary, the mdev pieces are split out of vfio_ccw_private and into a
new vfio_ccw_parent struct that will continue to follow today's lifecycle.
The remainder (bulk) of the private struct moves to follow the mdev
probe/remove pair. There's opportunity for further separation of the
things in the private struct, which would simplify some of the vfio-ccw
code, but it got too hairy as I started that. Once vfio-ccw is no longer
considered unique, those cleanups can happen at our leisure. 

Patch 6 removes the trickery where vfio-ccw uses vfio_init_device instead of
vfio_alloc_device, and thus removes vfio_init_device from the outside world.

Patch 7 removes vfio_free_device from vfio-ccw and the other drivers (hello,
CC list!), letting it be handled by vfio_device_release directly.

Looking forward to the feedback.

Thanks,
Eric
