Hi Gerd:
    Thanks for the testing. We will find out the problem and refresh the whole patch series.

Thanks,
Zhi.

Ok, patch series applies cleanly to 4.13-rc6.  The new flags are working fine.

However, I see VFIO_DEVICE_QUERY_GFX_PLANE failures which I think should not be there.  When the guest didn't define a plane yet I get "No such device" errors instead of a plane_info struct with fields (drm_format, width, height, size) set to zero.  I also see "Bad address" errors now and then with no obvious cause.

Cursor support isn't working too.

I'm testing with "-display egl-headless -spice gl=off,port=...".  In that configuration qemu will import the dma-bufs as textures and reads them using ReadPixels for display.

qemu branch: https://www.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/log/?h=work/intel-vgpu

The qemu branch has support for both dmabufs and regions.  The region- based display code is totaly untested though.

cheers,
  Gerd
