So because I had pulled the vfio changes independently with their own
merge message, I ended up editing out all the commentary you had about
the vfio side of the changes.

Which is kind of sad, since you arguably put some more information and
effort into it than Alex had done in his vfio pull request. But the
vfio parts just weren't part of the merge any more.

I did put a link to your pull request in the commit, so people can
find this info, but I thought I'd mention how I ruthlessly edited down
the merge commit message to just the parts that were new to the merge.

I appreciate the extra background, even if I then decided that by the
time I merged your part, some of it was "old news" and not actually
about what I merged when I pulled your branch.

.. and if I had realized when I merged the vfio parts, I probably
could have added your commentary to that merge. Oh well.
