Subject:  [PATCH 0/5] VFIO core framework
Date:  Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:42:02 -0700
Message-ID:  <20111221213019.27028.26890.stgit@bling.home>

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.
