Wouldn't it make sense to be able to configure QEMU with any
combination of vfio-pci and/or vfio-user-pci support rather than
statically tying vfio-user-pci to vfio-pci?  Not to mention that doing
so would help to more formally define the interface operations between
kernel and user options, for example fewer tests of vbasedev->proxy and
perhaps more abstraction through ops structures.  Thanks,
