Alex are you going to handle this through your next tree? If yes, pls include: Acked-by: Michael S.

Hi all: There are hardware that can do virtio datapath offloading while having its own control path. This path tries to implement a mdev based unified API to support using kernel virtio driver to drive those devices. This is done by introducing a new mdev transport for virtio (virtio_mdev) and register itself as a new kind of mdev driver. Then it provides a unified way for kernel virtio driver to talk with mdev device implementation. Though the series only contains kernel driver support, the goal is to make the transport generic enough to support userspace drivers. This means vhost-mdev[1] could be built on top as well by resuing the transport. A sample driver is also implemented which simulate a virito-net loopback ethernet device on top of vringh + workqueue. This could be used as a reference implementation for real hardware driver. Consider mdev framework only support VFIO device and driver right now, this series also extend it to support other types. This is done through introducing class id to the device and pairing it with id_talbe claimed by the driver. On top, this seris also decouple device specific parents ops out of the common ones. Pktgen test was done with virito-net + mvnet loop back device. Please review.
