Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] introduction of migration_version attribute for VFIO live migration

This patchset introduces a migration_version attribute under sysfs of VFIO
Mediated devices.

This migration_version attribute is used to check migration compatibility
between two mdev devices of the same mdev type.

Patch 1 defines migration_version attribute in
Documentation/vfio-mediated-device.txt

Patch 2 uses GVT as an example to show how to expose migration_version
attribute and check migration compatibility in vendor driver.

v3:
1. renamed version to migration_version
2. let errno to be freely defined by vendor driver
3. let checking mdev_type be prerequisite of migration compatibility check
4. reworded most part of patch 1
5. print detailed error log in patch 2 and generate migration_version
string at init time

v2:
1. renamed patched 1
2. made definition of device version string completely private to vendor
driver
3. reverted changes to sample mdev drivers
4. described intent and usage of version attribute more clearly.

Yan Zhao (2):
  vfio/mdev: add migration_version attribute for mdev device
  drm/i915/gvt: export migration_version to mdev sysfs for Intel vGPU
