    Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
     "Various enablers for assignment of Intel graphics devices and future
      support of vGPU devices (Alex Williamson).  This includes
    
       - Handling the vfio type1 interface as an API rather than a specific
         implementation, allowing multiple type1 providers.
    
       - Capability chains, similar to PCI device capabilities, that allow
         extending ioctls.  Extensions here include device specific regions
         and sparse mmap descriptions.  The former is used to expose non-PCI
         regions for IGD, including the OpRegion (particularly the Video
         BIOS Table), and read only PCI config access to the host and LPC
         bridge as drivers often depend on identifying those devices.
    
         Sparse mmaps here are used to describe the MSIx vector table, which
         vfio has always protected from mmap, but never had an API to
         explicitly define that protection.  In future vGPU support this is
         expected to allow the description of PCI BARs that may mix direct
         access and emulated access within a single region.
    
       - The ability to expose the shadow ROM as an option ROM as IGD use
         cases may rely on the ROM even though the physical device does not
         make use of a PCI option ROM BAR"
