I presume the idea was if something was ever needed in the struct that was kernel vfio specific, it could go there. But sure. > I am not sure the new TYPE_VFIO_PCI_BASE class is needed too. > Are the properties the only difference ? I'm not sure if you're talking about the type specifically (a bit sketchy on how qemu's klass/type system works) or the existence of the base/kernel/user separation at all. If it's possible to set up vfio_user_pci_dev_info and its callbacks without needing a sub-type then maybe not? Honestly I'm not really sure why we have sub-classes and inheritance like this. regards john
