Got it. Thanks.

Our current gpu virtualization implementation for HSW. It's compared 
with future implematations for BDW etc.

Well. Thanks for your notification. :)
In fact, this version judgement is just for future usages. By now, we 
have only one vgt interface version, 0x10000. But you are right, unlike 
the judgement for 'magic', which specifies the Intel GVT-g feature, and 
can be returned directly when false, failure for the 'version' may 
should trigger something like unload the driver. However, if so, this 
means we may need to:
1> return something in i915_check_vgpu();
2> change the prototype of i915_check_vgpu() and its caller 
intel_uncore_init();
3> check the return value of intel_uncore_init() in i915_driver_load()
Is this approach acceptable?

Let's keep the _t types, like explanations in Daniel's mail. Is this OK?

Like you said in 2/3 comments, this 2 part is for mappable and 
non-mapplable respectively. :)

Well, IIRC, this __packed is added to follow Chris's comments. How about 
we keep it? Or will it hurt any place? :)
