vfio/xe: Add a missing vfio_pci_core_release_dev() (2026-04-13 15:05:37 -0600)

----------------------------------------------------------------
VFIO updates for v7.1-rc1

- Update QAT vfio-pci variant driver for Gen 5, 420xx devices.
(Vijay Sundar Selvamani, Suman Kumar Chakraborty, Giovanni Cabiddu)

- Fix vfio selftest MMIO DMA mapping selftest. (Alex Mastro)

- Conversions to const struct class in support of class_create()
deprecation. (Jori Koolstra)

- Improve selftest compiler compatibility by avoiding initializer
on variable-length array. (Manish Honap)

- Define new uAPI for drivers supporting migration to advise user-
space of new initial data for reducing target startup latency.
Implemented for mlx5 vfio-pci variant driver. (Yishai Hadas)

- Enable vfio selftests on aarch64, not just cross-compiles reporting
arm64. (Ted Logan)

- Update vfio selftest driver support to include additional DSA
devices. (Yi Lai)

- Unconditionally include debugfs root pointer in vfio device struct,
avoiding a build failure seen in hisi_acc variant driver without
debugfs otherwise. (Arnd Bergmann)

- Add support for the s390 ISM (Internal Shared Memory) device via
a new variant driver. The device is unique in the size of its BAR
space (256TiB) and lack of mmap support. (Julian Ruess)

- Enforce that vfio-pci drivers implement a name in their ops
structure for use in sequestering SR-IOV VFs. (Alex Williamson)

- Prune leftover group notifier code. (Paolo Bonzini)

- Fix Xe vfio-pci variant driver to avoid migration support as a
dependency in the reset path and missing release call.
(Michał Winiarski)
