Wouldn't it seem likely that the ops provider might use this handle as
a pointer, so we'd want it to be an opaque void*?

@caps has no purpose here, add it if/when we do something with it.
It's also a standard type, why are we memset'ing it rather than just
=0??

Generally not advisable to make user accessible printks.

These would be a lot cleaner if we could just call a helper function:

void vfio_pci_region_info_mediation_hook(vdev, info, caps, etc...)
{
if (vdev->mediate_ops
vdev->mediate_ops->get_region_info)
vdev->mediate_ops->get_region_info(vdev->mediate_handle,
&info, &caps, NULL);
}

I'm not thrilled with all these hooks, but not open coding every one of
them might help.

There must be a better way to do all these. Do we really want to call
into ops for every rw or mmap, have the vendor code decode a region,
and maybe or maybe not have it handle it? It's pretty ugly. Do we
need the mediation provider to be able to dynamically setup the ops per
region and export the default handlers out for them to call?

Is it even possible to unload vfio-pci while there are mediation
drivers registered? I don't think the module interactions are well
thought out here, ex. do you really want i40e to have build and runtime
dependencies on vfio-pci? I don't think so.

It's kZalloc'd, this is unnecessary.

Whose reference is this removing?

This is bad, we should hold a reference to the module providing these
ops for each use of it such that the module cannot be removed while
it's in use. Otherwise we enter a very bad state here and it's
trivially accessible by an admin remove the module while in use.
