Hi all,

Here is an update to the vfio-ccw lifecycle changes that have been discussed
in various forms over the past year [1][2] or so, and which I dusted off
recently.

Patches 1-5 rework the behavior of the vfio-ccw driver's private struct.
In summary, the mdev pieces are split out of vfio_ccw_private and into a
new vfio_ccw_parent struct that will continue to follow today's lifecycle.
The remainder (bulk) of the private struct moves to follow the mdev
probe/remove pair. There's opportunity for further separation of the
things in the private struct, which would simplify some of the vfio-ccw
code, but it got too hairy as I started that. Once vfio-ccw is no longer
considered unique, those cleanups can happen at our leisure. 

Patch 6 removes the trickery where vfio-ccw uses vfio_init_device instead of
vfio_alloc_device, and thus removes vfio_init_device from the outside world.

Patch 7 removes vfio_free_device from vfio-ccw and the other drivers (hello,
CC list!), letting it be handled by vfio_device_release directly.

Looking forward to the feedback.

Thanks,
Eric

Looks like another spin is pending, but the vfio core and collateral
changes in 6 and 7 look good to me.  Would this go in through the vfio
or s390 tree?  I'd be happy to merge or provide a branch, depending on
the route.

For 6 & 7:
Acked-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>

Thanks,
Alex

LGTM with those few comments addressed -- @Eric please send a v3 and I think it's ready.

I would suggest vfio tree to reduce the chance of conflicts; this touches various vfio drivers (and main) with the last patches while the s390 hits are at least all contained to the vfio-ccw driver code.

Will do that now; thanks Matt.

Agreed. Thanks to you both.
