本文介绍了一个自定义VFIO-MDEV驱动如何使虚拟机通过该驱动访问硬件寄存器，以及驱动如何访问虚拟机的缓冲区/内存。内容包括虚拟机访问硬件寄存器的步骤、VFIO-MDEV驱动读写虚拟机内存的方法，以及在实现过程中遇到的PCI IO映射问题和outl()函数输出4字节的问题。
As I created myself VFIO-MDEV driver/virtual device, the next steps I can think are:
1) make virtual machine can access real hardware through this VFIO-MDEV driver.
2) hardware/VFIO-MDEV driver can access the buffer in virtual machine. Because many HW will write/read data from buffer/memory. If we vituralize a HW and provide its virtual device to the virtual machine, we will need this feature.
So this blog will introduce:
1) How does virtual machine access HW(VFIO-MDEV virtual device's) registers.
2) How does VFIO-MDEV driver access virtual machine's buffer/memory.
1. How does virtual machine access HW registers.
On host VFIO-MDEV driver:
Firstly I fixed a bug on virtual device's PCI configure space. That is the PCI device class. Last time I set it to 0x0. This will cause pci_enable_device() error. So I modified it to 0xFF(misc device).
