    VFIO is not a "better UIO". It *requires* an IOMMU. Dominic didn't say on
    what CPU he's working, so it's not clear if he can use VFIO at all.

    UIO is intended for general use with devices that have mappable registers
    and don't fit into any other subsystem. No more, no less.

    Thanks,
    Hans
