vfio: VFIO based driver for Mediated devices
vfio_mdev driver registers with mdev core driver.
mdev core driver creates mediated device and calls probe routine of
vfio_mdev driver for each device.
Probe routine of vfio_mdev driver adds mediated device to VFIO core module
This driver forms a shim layer that pass through VFIO devices operations
to vendor driver for mediated devices.
