[vfio-users] VFIO + ZFS build

[Jouner Journer]

Cool.

I was reading Alex's blog further with regards to radeon.  He mentions that
hawaii class gpus are affected, although there is a patch that mostly fixes
it. R9 290X is Hawaii XT... does anyone know if it is affected by the same
reset ignore/failure to wake problem?
