Hi Alex,

I wanted to discuss how you would like to proceed with this series.

The series is quite large, so one thing I was wondering is if you
think it should be split up into separate series to make it easier to
review and merge. Something like this:

 - Patches 01-08 + 30 (VFIO selftests library, some basic tests, and run script)
 - Patches 09-22 (driver framework)
 - Patches 23-28 (iommufd support)
 - Patches 31-33 (integration with KVM selftests)

I also was curious about your thoughts on maintenance of VFIO
selftests, since I don't think we discussed that in the RFC. I am
happy to help maintain VFIO selftests in whatever way makes the most
sense. For now I added tools/testing/selftests/vfio under the
top-level VFIO section in MAINTAINERS (so you would be the maintainer)
and then also added a separate section for VFIO selftests with myself
as a Reviewer (see PATCH 01). Reviewer felt like a better choice than
Maintainer for myself since I am new to VFIO upstream (I've primarily
worked on KVM in the past).

Thanks.
