I just updated the patches to v4.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11554617/.
It's based on v17 kernel + v16 qemu with some minor changes in qemu.

In v4, vendor driver for i40e vf reports dirty pages to vfio container.
the detailed implementation of identifying dirty pages and device state
is not sent yet for process reason.
We use a software way to get dirty pages i.e. dynamically trapping of BAR 0.
Thanks
