Merge tag 'vfio-for-v3.6' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio
Pull VFIO core from Alex Williamson:
"This series includes the VFIO userspace driver interface for the 3.6
kernel merge window. This driver is intended to provide a secure
interface for device access using IOMMU protection for applications
like assignment of physical devices to virtual machines.
Qemu will be the first user of this interface, enabling assignment of
PCI devices to Qemu guests. This interface is intended to eventually
replace the x86-specific assignment mechanism currently available in
KVM.
This interface has the advantage of being more secure, by working with
IOMMU groups to ensure device isolation and providing it's own
filtered resource access mechanism, and also more flexible, in not
being x86 or KVM specific (extensions to enable POWER are already
working).
This driver is originally the work of Tom Lyon, but has since been
handed over to me and gone through a complete overhaul thanks to the
input from David Gibson, Ben Herrenschmidt, Chris Wright, Joerg
Roedel, and others. This driver has been available in linux-next for
the last month."
Paul Mackerras says:
"I would be glad to see it go in since we want to use it with KVM on
PowerPC. If possible we'd like the PowerPC bits for it to go in as
well."
