We are having a common abstraction that can be overwritten by any
specialized implementation - and this is what vfio-ccw is doing,
therefore nothing changes for it.

Yes, we need to revisit this code and split out what makes sense and
what doesn't. For now, we only have virtual devices and vfio-ccw, so
we're fine. It even might make sense to keep them separate in the
future, as having a virtual device and one only mirroring some state in
QEMU sound like they want to be handled differently.

It's on my to-do list (which is sadly quite crowded...)
