Also, see the other conversations we are having about a "virtual" bus

need/want the same thing here.
Sure, some functions looks similar, but the "virtual" bus does not contain a
management interface and it's not clear that how it can be used by userspace
driver. For this series, sysfs/GUID based management interface is reused and
we had a concrete example of how it would be used by userspace driver[1] and
a real hardware driver implementation[2].
The lifecycle stuff should be re-used through a library of this guid
stuff, not by 'subclassing' mdev_device
Jason
But mdev provides more than lifecycle management: type management, IOMMU
support etc. And more could be added in the future.
Having a library that serves exactly for the case of mdev seems less
convenient than making mdev_device a 'parent class'.
