Hi Stephen,

> Some drivers need ability to access PCI config (for example for power man=
agement). This
> adds an abstraction to do this; only implemented on Linux, but should be =
possible on BSD.

Since VFIO has to go to PCI config space too for some things, could you ple=
ase amend your patch to make VFIO use this generic API also? Currently, it =
uses VFIO to read and write from PCI config.

Thanks,
Anatoly
