Agreed. If there's going to be a gvt.ko, I think all of gvt/ should be
part of that module, nothing more, nothing less.

The gvt related files in i915/ should probably be named intel_gvt* or
something, ditto for function naming, and we'll probably want patches
touching them be Cc'd to intel-gfx list.

Joonas, Rodrigo, Tvrtko, thoughts?
