3 Acceptance criteria for vfio-pci device specific driver variants
7 --------
8 The vfio-pci driver exists as a device agnostic driver using the
10 handling to provide isolated device access to userspace.  While the
11 vfio-pci driver does include some device specific support, further
12 extensions for yet more advanced device specific features are not
13 sustainable.  The vfio-pci driver has therefore split out
14 vfio-pci-core as a library that may be reused to implement features
15 requiring device specific knowledge, ex. saving and loading device
18 In support of such features, it's expected that some device specific
19 variants may interact with parent devices (ex. SR-IOV PF in support of
21 accessible via the vfio-pci base driver.  Authors of such drivers
24 beyond the scope of the assigned device.
27 sign-off/ack/review/etc for any interactions with parent drivers.
29 documentation for reviewers to understand the device specific
31 device state composed and consumed, which portions are not otherwise
32 available to the user via vfio-pci, what safeguards exist to validate
