The two patches (Linux & QEMU) add support for passthrough VMD devices
in QEMU/KVM. VMD device 28C0 already supports passthrough natively by
providing the Host Physical Address in a shadow register to the guest
for correct bridge programming.

The QEMU patch emulates the 28C0 mode by creating a shadow register and
advertising its support by using QEMU's subsystem vendor/id.
The Linux patch matches the QEMU subsystem vendor/id to use the shadow
register.

Please pick a different PCI ID for Qemu vs real hardware so that we
can properly quirk them if they end up behaving differently due to
hardware or software bugs.

Sure. Will look into that.
Thanks Christoph
