Add a selftest, vfio_pci_sriov_uapi_test.c, to validate the
SR-IOV UAPI, including the following cases, iterating over
all the IOMMU modes currently supported:
- Setting correct/incorrect/NULL tokens during device init.
- Close the PF device immediately after setting the token.
- Change/override the PF's token after device init.

Please do iommu_init() iommu_cleanup() here to reduce code duplication
and as an added bonus you can drop the clang-format comments above.

Is this because the child processes created by test_harness_run() to run
the TEST_F()s inherit the atexit() call? If so please clarify that in
the comment in more detail.

Do we actually need atexit()? This code can go into main and we can do
the VF cleanup before returning from main after test_harness_run()
returns. I don't think you even need to check the VF driver. If the VF
is not bound to vfio-pci then that will be caught by the test cases when
they call device_init(vf_bdf, ...).
That would make the logic more straightforward and get rid of the
main_pid stuff too.

I think even Vipin suggested this. Last time I tried this, IIRC got a
build error that 'variant' was inaccessible. But I guess I just had to
re-org my code to make it work.
I'll do this in v8.

Yes, that's the reason, and I assumed the comment made that clear.
I'll re-write it if required.

Other than the asserts on 'vf_driver', the calls to
`sysfs_sriov_vf_bdf_get()` and `sysfs_driver_get()` themselves have a
potential chance of triggering asserts, although this is unlikely.
But the bigger reason is that test_harness_run() unconditionally calls
ksft_exit() at the end, forcing it to be the last function called from
main(), regardless of the tests' outcome. Hence, the exit handler.
I see atexit() used in some selftests, so I thought it was normal and
acceptable.
Thank you.

Ah ok if test_harness_run() exits instead of returning then I agree
with using atexit(). Thanks for the explanation!
