This patch makes it possible to manually specify which VFIO variant driver to use for PCI hostdev device assignment, so that, e.g. you could force use of a VFIO "variant" driver, with e.g. <driver model='mlx5_vfio_pci'/> or alternately to force use of the generic vfio-pci driver with <driver model='vfio-pci'/> when libvirt would have normally (after applying a subsequent patch) found a "better match" for a device in the active kernel's modules.alias file. (The main potential use of this manual override would probably be to work around a bug in a new VFIO variant driver by temporarily not using that driver).

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
