Maybe as a reference this strikes me as similar to how we do multiple
device support in a single driver like ixgbe or fm10k (the two I'm most
familiar with). At probe time we read the device id and then stub in
the specific callbacks for that device.
Sorry I'm still hung up on the multiple worlds thing, is it really
trying to model different devices under a single driver? In which case
maybe rather than port mode expose it as its own device id. Just a
thought.
Also I wonder if some of these routines can be broken out more? I'm
missing how opening a port is so different across these worlds. Probably
need to poke at the qemu model a bit more.
