[PATCH v9 7/9] vfio-pci/zdev: Add a device feature for error information

From: Farhan Ali

Date: Tue Feb 17 2026 - 13:26:24 EST


For zPCI devices, we have platform specific error information. The platform
firmware provides this error information to the operating system in an
architecture specific mechanism. To enable recovery from userspace for
these devices, we want to expose this error information to userspace. Add a
new device feature to expose this information.
