This doesn't follow standard conventions for a vfio ioctl.  Not knowing
how CDX works, is there really a need for this ioctl vs enabling bus
master when the device is opened and clearing it when closed?  I think
this is effectively the behavior of vfio-platform.  Otherwise, I assume
this is not a high frequency operation, would the VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE
ioctl be an option?  Thanks,
