Currently I saw 'reset' callback only invoked from VFIO ioctl path. Do you think whether it makes sense to expose a sysfs 'reset' node too, similar to what people see under a PCI device node? > - start: to initiate mediated device initialization process from vendor > driver > - shutdown: to teardown mediated device resources during teardown. I think 'shutdown' should be 'stop' based on actual code. Thanks Kevin
