Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] KVM noncoherent DMA registration and VFIO pseudo
 device

v2:
  - Drop KVM device changes
  - Add kfree(dev) in destroy function
  - Add atomic_set(,0) in kvm_arch init

As described in v1 and discussion, this adds a VFIO pseudo device to
KVM through which userspace can register VFIO groups.  The initial use
of this interface is to enable emulation of coherency instructions on
x86 when a VFIO group is attached.  Future patches will allow KVM to
query the coherency state of the IOMMU domain used by the group to
avoid unnecessarily enabling this emulation.  Thanks,

Alex
