It seems a bit odd to me to add a driver_data arg to the function,
which is actually required to point to the same thing as the existing
function arg. Is this just to codify the requirement? Maybe others
can suggest alternatives.

We also need to collaborate with Jason's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/0-v2-0f36bcf6ec1e+64d-vfio_get_from_dev_jgg@nvidia.com/

(and maybe others)

If we implement a change like proposed here that vfio-pci-core sets
drvdata then we don't need for each variant driver to implement their
own wrapper around err_handler or err_detected as Jason proposes in the
linked patch. Thanks,

Alex
