This uapi allows setting mmap attributes using a specified region
offset, region offset is expected to be used from returned value of
VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO or similar, where vmmap mt entry was
created, start with write_combine attribute, which the user can use to
request mmap to use wc. vfio devices expected to load the vmmap entry
from mt and do the needed region specific checks, and sets the
attributes accordingly.
