Sounds good -- I'll follow up on this in v2.

Ah, I only added it due to the direct reference to `struct seq_file *` in this
file, but will keep this in mind. I do see that it's transitively visible via
vfio.h's include.

TIL about this documentation (section 3.8), but it looks to be focused more on
common fs/* pieces like eventfd, signalfd, and such. I didn't see any drivers/*
precedence, but would not be opposed to being the first. Do you think it still
makes sense to add there?

Thanks,
