Subject: [PATCH 0/4] vfio-mdev: Clean namespace and better define ABI

Cleanup the namespace a bit by prefixing structures with mdev_ and
also more concretely define the mdev interface.  Structs with comments
defining which fields are private vs public tempts poor behavior,
especially for an interface where we expect out of tree vendor drivers.
Thanks,

Alex
