NVIDIA VCMDQ driver will have a driver-defined vDEVICE structure and do some HW configurations with that. To allow IOMMU drivers to define their own vDEVICE structures, move the struct iommufd_vdevice to the public header and provide a pair of viommu ops, similar to get_viommu_size and viommu_init. Doing this, however, creates a new window between the vDEVICE allocation and its driver-level initialization, during which an abort could happen but it can't invoke a driver destroy function from the struct viommu_ops since the driver structure isn't initialized yet. vIOMMU object doesn't have this problem, since its destroy op is set via the viommu_ops by the driver viommu_init function. Thus, vDEVICE should do something similar: add a destroy function pointer inside the struct iommufd_vdevice instead of the struct iommufd_viommu_ops. Note that there is unlikely a use case for a type dependent vDEVICE, so a static vdevice_size is probably enough for the near term instead of a get_vdevice_size function op.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
