Yes, the description should be modified here, and it should not be limited
to only support VF.

Combined with your observations below, I think it is more appropriate to
create a "vfio-pci" directory here, because the current live migration
function is still used on pci devices.

For non-pci devices, if there is a device that needs to add debugfs,
then it can create a similar directory.

Yes, your suggestion is very good. Here I also agree to create a "vfio-pci"
directory.In addition, it is not easy to create a "migration" subdirectory
internally,because there is no valid basis for judging whether to create a
"migration" directory when creating a vfio-pci directory.
Therefore, it is simpler to create migration_state directly with migration
as a prefix.

Ok, then I'll delete this header file and put them directly in vfio.h
