[PATCH] vfio: Set container device mode

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Tue Apr 30 2013 - 18:21:36 EST


Minor 0 is the VFIO container device (/dev/vfio/vfio). On it's own
the container does not provide a user with any privileged access. It
only supports API version check and extension check ioctls. Only by
attaching a VFIO group to the container does it gain any access. Set
the mode of the container to allow access.
