This driver never had any open userspace (which for VFIO would include
VM kernel drivers) that use it, and thus should never have been added
by our normal userspace ABI rules.

Hearing no objections, applied to vfio next branch for v5.13.  Thanks,

Looks like you only took patch 1?

I can't take patch 2 on its own, that would break the build.

Do you want to take both patches? There's currently no conflicts against
my tree. It's possible one could appear before the v5.13 merge window,
though it would probably just be something minor.

Or I could apply both patches to my tree, which means patch 1 would
appear as two commits in the git history, but that's not a big deal.

cheers
