[RFC PATCH 06/10] vfio: Add a device notifier interface

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Mon Feb 22 2021 - 11:55:32 EST


Using a vfio device, a notifier block can be registered to receive
select device events. Notifiers can only be registered for contained
devices, ie. they are available through a user context. Registration
of a notifier increments the reference to that container context
therefore notifiers must minimally respond to the release event by
asynchronously removing notifiers.
