The VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE ioctl is meant to be a general purpose, device agnostic ioctl for setting, retrieving, and probing device features. This implementation provides a 16-bit field for specifying a feature index, where the data porition of the ioctl is determined by the semantics for the given feature. Additional flag bits indicate the direction and nature of the operation; SET indicates user data is provided into the device feature, GET indicates the device feature is written out into user data. The PROBE flag augments determining whether the given feature is supported, and if provided, whether the given operation on the feature is supported. The first user of this ioctl is for setting the vfio-pci VF token, where the user provides a shared secret key (UUID) on a SR-IOV PF device, which users must provide when opening associated VF devices.
