I don't see the point of VFIO knowing about guest addresses. They are not unique across a system and the whole idea that a VFIO device has to be owned by a guest is also pretty dubious. I suppose what you really care about here is just a token for a specific device? But why do you need one where we don't have tokens yet?
I think this is going to be needed when doing in-kernel acceleration of some of the RTAS calls, but yes, Gavin, why do we need that now ? Cheers, Ben.
