This is where the abstraction breaks down. These are
vfio_external_foo() interfaces, yet they assume a specific type of
device, a vfio platform device. Either the name should reflect that or
they should be hosted in vfio-core with a callout to the device specific
implementations. Can we make kvm-vfio deal only in struct vfio_device
and struct device?
