+===================
+VFIO virtual device
+===================
+
+Device types supported:
+
+  - KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO
+
+Only one VFIO instance may be created per VM.  The created device
+tracks VFIO groups in use by the VM and features of those groups
+important to the correctness and acceleration of the VM.  As groups
+are enabled and disabled for use by the VM, KVM should be updated
+about their presence.  When registered with KVM, a reference to the
+VFIO-group is held by KVM.
+
+Groups:
+  KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP
+
+KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP attributes:
+  KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_ADD: Add a VFIO group to VFIO-KVM device tracking
+	kvm_device_attr.addr points to an int32_t file descriptor
+	for the VFIO group.
+  KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL: Remove a VFIO group from VFIO-KVM device tracking
+	kvm_device_attr.addr points to an int32_t file descriptor
+	for the VFIO group.
+  KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE: attaches a guest visible TCE table
+	allocated by sPAPR KVM.
+	kvm_device_attr.addr points to a struct::
+
+		struct kvm_vfio_spapr_tce {
+			__s32	groupfd;
+			__s32	tablefd;
+		};
+
+	where:
+
+	- @groupfd is a file descriptor for a VFIO group;
+	- @tablefd is a file descriptor for a TCE table allocated via
+	  KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE.
