Note that the vfio API has evolved a bit since vfio-pci started this
way, with fixed indexes for pre-defined region types. We now support
device specific regions which can be identified by a capability within
the REGION_INFO ioctl return data. This allows a bit more flexibility,
at the cost of complexity, but the infrastructure already exists in
kernel and QEMU to make it relatively easy. I think we'll have the
same support for interrupts soon too. If you continue to pursue the
vfio-vhost direction you might want to consider these before committing
to fixed indexes. Thanks,
Alex
