The base vfio has not much functionality but to provide a custom
container by opening this path.
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vfio.txt for more.
Systems with static hostdevs will get /dev/vfio/vfio by virt-aa-hotplug
right from the beginning. But if the guest initially had no hostdev at
all it will run into the following deny before the security module
labelling callbacks will make the actual vfio device (like /dev/vfio/93)
known.
Access by qemu is "wr" even thou in theory it could maybe be "r":
