  Description     : Userspace (fuse) host driver for Mellanox BlueField devices

This is a userspace driver that provides host access to BlueField PCIe
devices. It can be used to push boot streams (usually to flash a new OS
image), access a virtual console, provide a virtual network interface
connecting the BlueField device and its host, and a debug interface.

I work with BlueField PCIe devices as part of my day job. These devices run
a full Linux distribution, and this driver is required to manage them from
the host OS. I plan to maintain it as part of a small (1-3) person team,
where I will likely be the only member who is a DD. We plan to use salsa
for hosting.
