I'm guessing there were good reasons to do it that way but I wonder, is
it not simpler to just have the kernel driver create a /dev/foo, with a
standard ioctl/mmap/poll interface? Here VFIO adds a layer of
indirection, and since the mediating driver has to implement these
operations already, what is gained?
Thanks,
Jean
