Hi guys,

With the generic vDPA device, QEMU won't need to touch the device
types any more, such like vfio.

We can use the generic vDPA device as follow:
 -device vhost-vdpa-device-pci,vdpa-dev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-X

I've done some simple tests on Huawei's offloading card (net, 0.95)
and vdpa_sim_blk (1.0);

The whole seems almost okay, I left you some comments, but for the next version maybe it's better to reorganize the series differently.

Instead of adding vdpa-dev and vdpa-dev-pci incrementally, with stub functions and untestable parts, I would make a patch that adds vdpa-dev in full and then one that adds vdpa-dev-pci. The first 2 patches on the other hand are okay, maybe patch 2 won't be needed since I think we will sync the headers after the 7.0 release, but is better to keep it for now to simplify the review.

Thanks,
Stefano
