+1 on this, in the other thread my take was that this should go through
driver model tree in the mhi bus, and I guess needs some review there
about safety and all that. We do a lot of funny uapi in drm/accel, but
full generic driver-in-userspace is really not our thing :-)

I guess there's also the question whether this should be debugfs (like the
usb stuff, or did that move by now) or real chardev. Might also make sense
to integrate with vfio/mdev/iommufd depending how the security model
works.

But really this is all stuff where I'm hightailing it asap :-)
