The only connection is the SET_KVM notifier as far as I can tell.
Which is used by a total of two drivers, including i915/gvt. That
being said gvt does not only use vfio, but also does quite a few
direct cals to KVM.

Yes. And if we go back to actually looking at the series a lot of
it just removes entirely pointless indirect calls that go to generic
code and not even the kvm code, or questionable data structure designs.
If we were to support another upstream hypervisor we'd just need to
union a few fields in struct intel_gpu and maybe introduce a few
methods. Preferably in a way that avoids expensive indirect calls
in the fast path.
