I think the typical solution to something like this would be...

struct vfio_pci_device {
	...
};

struct vfio_pci_device_private {
	struct vfio_pci_device vdev;
	...
};

External code would be able to work with the vfio_pci_device and
internal code would do a container_of() to get access to the private
fields.  What's done here is pretty ugly and not very cache friendly.
Thanks,

Alex
