[RFC PATCH v3 1/3] vfio: platform: add device properties skeleton and user API

From: Antonios Motakis
Date: Fri Dec 19 2014 - 16:21:30 EST


This patch introduced the API to return device properties about
a PLATFORM device (if described by a device tree or ACPI) and the
skeleton of the implementation for VFIO_PLATFORM. Information about any
device node bound by VFIO_PLATFORM should be queried via the introduced
ioctl VFIO_DEVICE_GET_DEV_PROPERTY.

The user needs to know the name and the data type of the property he is
accessing.
