[vfio-users] AMD FirePro passthrough

[Eddie Yen]

Update:

Looks like FirePro V4800 need to be a secondary GPU to work, otherwise I
can't get any output from V4800 at boot up, even SeaBIOS an OVMF.
And still not work even I changed host GPU from HD5450 to GTX980.

Does V4900 can work as primary card?
