Subject: [PATCH 0/2] vfio: convert to misc driver

The control device is pretty easily converted to a misc driver with
static minor number which allows us to support auto load.  I've
submitted a request to lanana for the minor number reservation, so
this is mostly FYI until that's approved.  Comments and reviews
welcome.  Thanks,

Alex
