Merge tag 'vfio-v4.6-rc1' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio

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"
