These are function pointers, the consumer (kvm in this case) can
populate them with whatever implementation it needs. The details of
updating the IRTE should be completely hidden from this interface. This
interface only handles identifying matches between producer and consumer
and providing an API for the handshake. Feel free to use more
appropriate callbacks and structure fields, these are only meant as a
rough sketch of the idea and possible interaction, but please keep
layering in mind to make a generic interface.

What about it is specific to vfio? Both vfio and kvm are clients to the
interface, but I don't think we want to add any barriers that restrict
it to that pair. I think we originally thought of this as an IOMMU
service, so drivers/iommu might be another possible home for it.
Thanks,
