[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] VFIO core framework

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>]

This series includes the core framework for the VFIO driver.
VFIO is a userspace driver interface meant to replace both the
KVM device assignment code as well as interfaces like UIO.  Please
see patch 1/5 for a complete description of VFIO, what it can do,
and how it's designed.

This version and the VFIO PCI bus driver, for exposing PCI devices
through VFIO, can be found here:

git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git vfio-next-20111221

A development version of qemu which includes a full working
vfio-pci driver, indepdendent of KVM support, can be found here:

git://github.com/awilliam/qemu-vfio.git vfio-ng

Thanks,

Alex

PS - I'll be mostly unavailable over the holidays, but wanted to get
this out for review and comparison to the isolation APIs being proposed.
