Virtual Function I/O (VFIO) Mediated devices[1]
===============================================
The following high-level block diagram shows the main components and interfaces
in the VFIO mediated driver framework. The diagram shows NVIDIA, Intel, and IBM

The registration interface for a mediated bus driver provides the following

A mediated bus driver for mdev should use this structure in the function calls
to register and unregister itself with the core driver:

to the string provided by the vendor driver. This format of this name is as
- follows:

Writing '1' to the 'remove' file destroys the mdev device. The vendor driver can
fail the remove() callback if that device is active and the vendor driver
doesn't support hot unplug.

The following APIs are provided for translating user pfn to host pfn in a VFIO

-extern int vfio_pin_pages(struct device *dev, unsigned long *user_pfn,

- int npage);
+ extern int vfio_unpin_pages(struct device *dev, unsigned long *user_pfn,
+ int npage);
These functions call back into the back-end IOMMU module by using the pin_pages
and unpin_pages callbacks of the struct vfio_iommu_driver_ops[4]. Currently
This step creates a dummy device, /sys/devices/virtual/mtty/mtty/
- Files in this device directory in sysfs are similar to the following:
