[Linaro-mm-sig] Re: [PATCH v8 08/11] vfio/pci: Share the core device pointer while invoking feature functions

There is no need to share the main device pointer (struct vfio_device *) with all the feature functions as they only need the core device pointer. Therefore, extract the core device pointer once in the caller (vfio_pci_core_ioctl_feature) and share it instead.
