You can pass any PCI device via vfio already, what is missing today to
make it fully working?

For example, for nvlink gpus it was coherent memory and ATSD which we
needed to expose to the userspace, with opencapi I thought it is going
to be some sort of SRIOV-alike or a mediated device but all you do here
is to pass through the entire device with no new resources shared by the
vfio-pci driver.

Next time please provide a link to the series such as:

Is there the corresponding qemu tree somewhere?
