hi Alex
as our previously discussed, I'm preparing to implement my v2 as this
way:

1. on vfio-pci binding to a device, it will modprobe modules of alias
"vfio-pci-(vendorid)-(deviceid)", as a way to notify vendor drivers of
registering their vendor ops. (I renamed mediate_ops to vendor_ops in
v2)
2. in a module aliasing to "vfio-pci-(vendor_id)-(devivce_id)", in its
module_init, it will register a vendor ops to vfio-pci.
If there are two modules of the same alias and both registering vendor
ops at the same time, they are chained according to the prio in
its vendor ops.
3. vfio-pci would ask for region_infos for all vendor ops of a vdev in
vfio_pci_open, and init regions for vendor drivers. Current code in
vfio_pci_igd.c, vfio_pci_nvlink2.c, vfio_pci_nvlink2.c would all be
wrapped into separate modules. so current vfio_pci_register_dev_region()
would be removed accordingly. vfio_pci_rw would now be direct to
vendor_ops->region[i].rw. higher priority module's ops wins.
For example, module vfio_pci_igd may register to regions of index 10,
11, 12 for its opregion, and two cfg regions. still, vendor driver can
provide a module named i915_migration to register for regions of index 0
and 13 for BAR0 and migration.

Thanks
Yan
