Thanks for adding a new driver! I'm glad to see more devices getting
support so that VFIO selftsets can be run by more developers and in more
environments.

I haven't taken a deep look at the driver implementation yet, because I
had some higher level questions first that I left in the patches.

I did not see versions 1-8 on the mailing list. Are these from an
internal review? If so, it would probably be best to drop them when
sending upstream and start upstream reviews again at v1.
