    Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
    
     - VFIO updates for v4.10 primarily include a new Mediated Device
       interface, which essentially allows software defined devices to be
       exposed to users through VFIO. The host vendor driver providing this
       virtual device polices, or mediates user access to the device.
    
       These devices often incorporate portions of real devices, for
       instance the primary initial users of this interface expose vGPUs
       which allow the user to map mediated devices, or mdevs, to a portion
       of a physical GPU. QEMU composes these mdevs into PCI representations
       using the existing VFIO user API. This enables both Intel KVM-GT
       support, which is also expected to arrive into Linux mainline during
       the v4.10 merge window, as well as NVIDIA vGPU, and also Channel I/O
       devices (aka CCW devices) for s390 virtualization support. (Kirti
