Ok, that sounds like a reasonable argument for keeping them separate,
at least for now.

Well, given it's "set_ownershuip" you could have "owner" - that would
want to be an enum with OWNER_KERNEL and OWNER_VFIO or something
rather than a bool.

Or you could leave it a bool but call it "allow_bypass".

Well, in set_bypass, the enable parameter was whether bypass was
enabled.  Here you're setting enable to true, when you want to
*disable* bypass (in the existing case).  If the "enable" parameter
isn't about enabling bypass, it's meaning is even more confusing than
I thought.

What's VFIO specific about this fragment - it's just if you have the
callback, call it, otherwise fall back to the default.

Can you put their logic into a set_ownership callback for IODA1 then?

That sounds like it might make sense.
