Hi Christoph,

Thank you for quick reply.

If we want to add this in vfio then I think we need to do the same in
uio case also.

As I mentioned in previous mail, in the current implementation
resource information (address and size) is gathering from resource
named file created in /sys directory.
So I expect it would be better to have similar method as existing in sysfs.


Regards,
Srinath.
