Now that vfio_pci has been split into two source modules, one focusing on the "struct pci_driver" (vfio_pci.c) and a toolbox library of code (vfio_pci_core.c), complete the split and move them into two different kernel modules. As before vfio_pci.ko continues to present the same interface under sysfs and this change will have no functional impact. Splitting into another module and adding exports allows creating new HW specific VFIO PCI drivers that can implement device specific functionality, such as VFIO migration interfaces or specialized device requirements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
